Résumé :

The case of a 59-year-old woman, hospitalised for a degradation of her health status which evolved within 10 days in fatal liver failure is reported. Although acute yellow atrophy was diagnosed, its origin remained elusive. Post-mortem examination of the liver disclosed massive hepatic infiltration by a breast adenocarcinoma. The causes of acute hepatic failure are reviewed and, particularly, the neoplastic ones.
