RESUMEN

Hepatic fibrin-ring granulomas and leishmania parasites were found in the liver biopsy specimens of 3 patients with prolonged fever and hepatosplenomegaly. It was recognition of the leishmanias in the liver biopsy specimen that prompted the diagnosis in all cases. There was no evidence of Q fever, Hodgkin's disease, cytomegalovirus hepatitis, or allopurinol treatment, which are the recognized causes of hepatic fibrin-ring granulomas. This report extends the range of etiologies of hepatic fibrin-ring granulomas. As a result, leishmaniasis should always be a consideration to the pathologist and the clinician in the differential diagnosis of fibrin-ring granulomas.
