Chole- and choledocholithiasis have long been recognized, but bilirubin gallstones can occur in any chronic hemolytic anemia. Acute pancreatitis has been reported as a possible ischemic consequence of sickling. It is unclear if the hepatic lesions of SCD di...

Oral Pathology in Celiac Disease: What’s New?

In 2012 were published the new ...

Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders Pathology

Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGID) are characterized pathologically by excess eosinophils in mucosal biopsies of one or multiple sites in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, simultaneously or sequentially.
