RESUMEN
La falla hepática aguda es el desarrollo de injuria hepática severa con deterioro de la función de síntesis y encefalopatía. Dentro de la variedad de causas, las infiltraciones neoplásicas representan menos del 0,5%. Presentamos el caso de un paciente varón HTLV1 positivo que debuta con una clínica de hepatitis aguda, siendo posteriormente diagnosticado con diseminación de linfoma/leucemia de células T del adulto. Desafortunadamente el paciente presentó deterioro rápido y progresivo de la función hepática, falleciendo a los pocos días de la hospitalización
