The emergence of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C) following SARS-CoV-2 infection in children and adolescents provided a new diagnostic and management challenge as there is limited knowledge about this condition and its natural history. In existing literature on MIS-C, there are currently no data about long-term outcomes. We report the case of a 14-year-old boy, with no significant past medical history, who presented a condition of multiorgan dysfunction due to MIS-C, after a SARS CoV-2 infection, and subsequent clinical-laboratory signs of hepatic steatosis at short-term follow-up. The case suggests how hepatic steatosis may be a possible sequela following SARS-CoV-2 infection, MIS-C and its medical treatment. Therefore, a close and long-term follow-up is needed to establish the pathophysiology and the evolution of this condition in patients following MIS-C.
