Abstract
Granulomatous hepatitis make up a group of conditions of various aetiologies. The diagnosis of granulomatous hepatitis is histologic, since the aspect of the granulomatous lesion is not always indicative of a specific disease. It is important to take into consideration for the aetiologic diagnosis a good response to a specific therapy or the execution of complementary examinations. The 25% of granulomatous hepatitis remain undiagnosed.
