Abstract
This study is written to report a case of 67-year-old female with known au-toimmune hepatitis (AIH) who developed balance and walking difficulties. Clinical and imaging investigations were more suggestive of AIH suffering from lymphoproliferative disease. To identify the underlying suspected lym-phoproliferative disease, series of brain scans were performed, which showed multiple brain lesions. This is a report on a striking case of multiple contrast enhanced brain lesions discovered in an AIH patient that was resolved upon withdrawal of azathioprine. Many side effects of azathioprine are acknowl-edged around the world; however, to the very best of our knowledge, an article on azathioprine inducing suspected malignancy was never reported.
