description Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been presenting with varying signs and symptoms. The medical community is being updated with new knowledge about this disease daily. We present a case of intrahepatic hemorrhage in a patient diagnosed with C0VID-19 which we believe was caused by endothelialitis, which is a characteristic feature of COVID-19. Nevertheless, further continued studies are required to validate this point. We aim to educate the medical community about the possible complications by COVID-19 in the liver and highlight that N-acetylcysteine (NAC) may be a useful option in these cases.
