ABSTRACT
A case of genetic hemochromatosis presented with asymptomatic hepatomegaly. The diagnosis was based on elevated serum iron, serum ferritin and transferrin saturation, a characteristic picture on magnetic resonance imaging, and liver biopsy showing cirrhosis with excessive iron deposits in the liver parenchyma. The extreme rarity of this disease in our country is perhaps determined by hereditary factors.
