Cryptogenic cirrhosis: misunderstood cause of yellow urticaria

We read with great interest the paper by Combalia et al recently appeared on Journal of European Academy of Dermatology1. The authors reported two cases of yellow urticaria related to liver cirrhosis, one due to hemochromatosis, and the other one to alcohol1. With a total of ten cases reported in literature by now, we considered relevant to report another case we recently came across. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
