Sumario:Elevated serum level of bilirubin is a common manifestation which is occurred in several diseases. Hyperbilirubinemia can manifest either conjugated or unconjugated. Conjugated or direct hyperbilirubinemia usually are caused by hepatocellular diseases or cholestatic liver diseases. Merely conjugated hyperbilirubinemia is the main manifestation of two congenital syndromes, including Dubin-Johnson and rotor syndrome; however it can be seen in some patients with recurrent benign intrahepatic cholestasis. This article reports a patient with Dubin- Johuson syndrome as a benign and rare condition.
