Wilson'S Disease Presentation Resembling Autoimmune Hepatitis

We report a case of a 25-year-old female patient who showed chronic hepatopathy with elevated levels of autoantibodies and gamma globulins, resembling autoimmune hepatitis. After 8weeks of unsuccessful immunosuppressive treatment, further evaluation showed laboratorial and histological findings suggestive of Wilson's disease. The new treatment with D-penicillamine resulted in positive outcome, despite the initial misleading diagnosis.
