Three Cases of Congenital Hepatic Fibrosis with Caroli’s Disease in Three Siblings

Congenital hepatic fibrosis is a relatively rare disease of children and young adults characterized by hard hepatomegaly, portal hypertension with relative preservation of liver function and underlying architecture, and frequent renal involvement. We experienced 3 cases of congenital hepatic fibrosis with Caroli’s disease in 3 siblings, whose clinical manifestations were diverse, such as repeated cholangitis, variceal hemorrhage, or intrahepatic stones. All of them had multiple renal cysts, so we supposed that the clinical entities of these patients were in the spectrum of fibropolycystic disease of the liver and kidney.
