Abstract
Alkaptonuria is a rare inherited disease with enzyme deficiency in the protein metabolism. The patients accumulate homogentisic acid which leads to symptoms from various body tissues. We describe a patient with recurrent intrahepatic gallstones probably due to such accumulation, and the successful treatment with removal of the stones and a low-protein diet.
