Pseudocirrhosis describes morphological changes of the liver that closely mimic cirrhosis, without typical histopathological seen in cirrhosis. It most commonly occurs patients with metastatic breast cancer, although it has been reported other malignancies as well. Like portal hypertension is often pseudocirrhosis. a rare but important complication cancer. In this case series and literature review, we describe 6 hormone-receptor-positive We report significant morbidity associated...
Olmesartan-induced enteropathy mimics celiac disease clinically and pathologically. As in disease, the pathologic findings are villous atrophy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes. Clinical presentation of olmesartan-induced includes diarrhea, weight loss, nausea. In contrast to tissue transglutaminase is not elevated there no response a gluten-free diet. Including this entity differential diagnosis sprue-like critical for its early since replacing olmesartan with an alternative...
Background: Cirrhosis is often accompanied by an elevated international normalized ratio (INR) due to a decrease in pro-coagulant factors. An INR cirrhosis interpreted as increased risk of bleeding. There paucity data the literature on use predict gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) patients with cirrhosis. The aims study were determine if there correlation between and GIB ERCP cirrhosis, difference frequency post-ERCP complications...
Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) is a rare but potentially life-threatening cutaneous hypersensitivity reaction characterized by extensive mucocutaneous eruption, fever, hematologic abnormalities, organ involvement. Here, we present case of young woman DRESS syndrome following exposure to vancomycin renal, cutaneous, gastrointestinal To the best our knowledge, this first description in literature tract autoimmune enteropathy.
Key Clinical Message Renal cell carcinoma is a highly malignant neoplasm. Metastasis to the pancreas and gastrointestinal tract rare. In this case report, we show images of metastatic renal upper in patient who presented with melena.
A 55-year-old woman presented with a 3-week history of weakness. On examination, she had heliotrope rash, V-neck and shawl signs. There was symmetric proximal muscle weakness, 2/5 strength in upper lower extremities. Laboratory values showed CK 5836, CRP 14.9, erythrocyte sedimentation rate 49, lactate dehydrogenase 633, negative antinuclear antibodies anti-Jo1 antibodies. Muscle biopsy immunohistochemistry findings were consistent dermatomyositis. Treatment high-dose steroids,...
Lymphoepithelial cysts (LECs) of the pancreas are benign, rare pancreatic that found predominantly in men. These can present as a diagnostic conundrum given their rarity and difficulty distinguishing these from those with malignant potential. We an incidental case LEC middle-aged man.
Thrombocytopenia has previously been reported after right lobe resection for organ donation. The mechanism(s) of low platelets hepatectomy is unclear and several hypotheses have proposed including a decrease in thrombopoietin, hepatic insufficiency resulting relative portal hypertension following resection. However, there not any comparison between patients who undergo neoplasia vs. living We compared platelet values the postoperative period underwent donation (n = 93) to those 21). There...
Key Clinical Message Windsock diverticulum is a rare anomalous finding of true intraluminal duodenal diverticulum. While complications bowel obstruction, bleeding, and pancreatitis may occur, most patients are asymptomatic. Surgical or endoscopic management be pursued when develop.
Introduction: Patients with cirrhosis may be at increased risk for adverse events due to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) because of underlying ascites, coagulopathy, biliary abnormalities, encephalopathy and concern decompensation. There are limited data regarding the safety ERCP in complications that ensue. Our aim was assess post-ERCP patients cirrhosis. Methods: A retrospective review all procedures performed between 2012 2015 a large tertiary care institution....
Introduction: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is associated with increased morbidity in liver transplant recipients (LTRs). There are only very few studies on the epidemiology of CDI these population. The goal this study was to analyze incidence LTRs after transplantation (LT) our center. Methods: We conducted a detailed retrospective examination patients who received LT at institution from April 2008 October 2013. Patients multi-organ other than liver/kidney were excluded (n=11)....
Introduction: Pancreas Divisum (PD) is a common anatomic variant that occurs when the dorsal and ventral pancreas do not fuse during gestation resulting in majority of pancreatic secretions draining through minor papilla. The clinical significance PD controversial. goal this study was to analyze risk factors for development pancreatitis patients with PD. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all identified on any radiological from 1997 - 2016 at three major tertiary institutions. Data...
Introduction: Lymphoepithelial cysts(LEC) of the pancreas are benign, rare pancreatic cysts that found predominantly in men. These can present as a diagnostic conundrum given their rarity and difficulty distinguishing from with neoplastic potential. We an incidental case LEC middle-aged man. Case description: A 56-year-old gentleman presented for evaluation cyst had been incidentally on Computed tomography (CT) scan during myasthenia gravis. He denied abdominal pain, weight loss, history...
Introduction: Donation after cardiac death (DCD) liver allografts have been associated with primary nonfunction, ischemic cholangiopathy, hepatic artery stenosis and a higher re-transplantation rate when compared donation brain (DBD) allografts. The number of transplantation (LT) DCD has increased in the recent years. We present our experience using this extended criteria donor grafts. Primary objective: To compare patient graft survival between DBD Secondary biliary vascular rates LT...
