{Abstract}: Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis is an autosomal recessive disorder presenting with intermittent episodes of cholestatic jaundice. The initial episode of benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis tends to occur within the first two decades of a patient's life. Episodes can occur unprompted but can often be precipitated by infections or pregnancy. We report an interesting case of a 13-year-old girl presented with recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis. The patient has a unique homozygous USP53 genetic mutation, the first patient to present with this mutation within the South Asian region. The patient was initially misdiagnosed as a case of autoimmune hepatitis, and when presenting to our set-up was diagnosed as a case of benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis. The patient has since been managed on medication and remains regular in follow-up, responding well to treatment.
