Hepatic calcification can be seen with various infectious and neoplastic conditions. We report a 32-year-old man who developed massive calcification in the right lobe of liver following recovery from dengue virus-associated fulminant liver failure [Delhi, India]. It is suggested that such type of calcification may occur as a result of lobar or segmental vascular compromise.
