A 17 year old boy was admitted because of short stature and
hepatomegaly. He was diagnosed with panhypopituitarism and fatty liver.
The fatty liver improved, not with hydrocortisone or levothyroxine treatment, but with growth hormone administration. The fatty liver in
this patient was attributable to a growth hormone deficient state.
