A Case of Rotor's Syndrome

로터 증후군(Rotor's syndrome) 1례

Rotor's syndrome is a hereditary disorder characterized by predominantly conjugated hyperbilirubinemia with normal hepatic histology. It resembles Dubin-Johnson syndrome but the main differences are no dark brown pigmentation in the hepatic cells and visualization of the gallbladder in oral cholangiography. We experienced a 14 year-old male patient who had icteric sclerae and predominantly conjugated hyperbilirubinemia when he was hospitalized for varicocelectomy. His liver biopsy specimen showed no dark brown pigmentation and any other pathologic abnormalities in the hepatic cells. Hepatobiliary scan shows no evidence of obstructive lesions. His urinary excretion of total coproporphyrin was markedly increased.
