    Hepatic and bile duct involvement are common in sickle cell disease. This is a histopathological case report of a 40 year old female with sickle cell non-specific hepatitis and peritoneum tubercle hyperplasia. The histopathology diagnosis of liver biopsy was erythrostasis and non-specific hepatitis and for peritoneal tubercle was non-specific chronic inflammation with mesothelial hyperplasia. Involvement in a subgroup of patients with SCD. Hepatic and bile duct involvement are common in sickle cell disease.
