AB  - A woman in her 80s was admitted to our hospital on account of jaundice, abnormal 
      liver function tests, and leukocytosis. She was diagnosed with adult T-cell 
      leukemia on the basis of the presence of anti-human T-cell leukemia virus type I 
      (HTLV-I) and the results of flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood. She 
      also showed lung consolidation and cavitation, and a sputum smear and culture 
      revealed cryptococcal infection. Therefore, she was diagnosed with pulmonary 
      cryptococcosis. However, the cause of the abnormal liver function tests and 
      jaundice remained unclear, and the patient subsequently died. On autopsy, 
      multiple granulomas were observed throughout the liver, consistent with 
      cryptococcal bodies. Herein we report this rare case of hepatic cryptococcosis 
      with predominant hepatobiliary complaints.
