The present report represents the case of a 36-year-old woman with congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF). She was admitted to our hospital because of gastric varices. She was asymptomatic and her liver function tests were within normal limits. Computed tomography showed hepatomegaly, splenomegaly and collateral circulation, but no evidence of liver cirrhosis. Real-time tissue elastography suggested severe fibrosis of the liver. Laparoscopy showed wide and discrete white markings on the surface of the liver and she was diagnosed with CHF based on the histological examination. The findings obtained from elastography and laparoscopy were useful for making the diagnosis of CHF.
