Two cases of Alagille syndrome are reported, father and son. This, a 6-year-old boy, presented with neonatal cholestasis but thereafter evolved with progressively decreasing jaundice and persisting pruritus. A liver biopsy confirmed the absence of intrahepatic bile ducts with preservation of hepatic architecture and no fibrosis. The patient had a characteristic phenotype: short stature, triangular face, deep eyes with hypertelorism, partial embryotoxon and data of peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis. His father died 43-year-old by a hepatocarcinoma. His liver biopsy showed also absence of intrahepatic bile ducts. In addition to the association Alagille's syndrome hepatocarcinoma (previously reported in six cases, three into the same family), it should be stressed in this case the long survival and the fact he had many children: the case with Alagille's syndrome, five children in good health, and one who died shortly after birth.
