Primary Amyloidosis Presenting as Common Bile Duct Obstruction With Cholangitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 61-year-old woman presented with features of acute cholangitis and distal common bile duct obstruction. Histopathology from ampulla of Vater biopsy demonstrated extensive local amyloid deposition. Amyloidomas can cause local obstructive effects and have been described in the small intestine, stomach, and gallbladder. This is the second case of a discrete amyloid deposit causing extrahepatic biliary obstruction and cholangitis.

Primary sclerosing cholangitis.
PRIMARY sclerosing cholangitis, stenosing cholangitis, fibrosing cholangitis, chronic obliterative cholangitis are all terms referring to a rare diffuse type ofchronic inflammation of the entire common bile duct and at times of the hepatic ducts and their radicles. In most instances, sclerosing cholangitis is idiopathic or primary. Bartholomew et al., in 1963 found only twenty unequivocal cases...
متن کاملIsolated IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis misdiagnosed as malignancy in an area with endemic cholangiocarcinoma: a case report
BACKGROUND The most common cause of perihilar obstruction is cholangiocarcinoma, especially in Thailand. Benign perihilar stricture represents less than 20% of cases. IgG4-related disease and IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis, however, have been receiving increased recognition. Isolated IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis is less common. The preoperative diagnosis of IgG4-related sclerosing c...
متن کاملPrimary sclerosing cholangitis and ulcerative colitis.
This is a report on a 36-year-old male patient presenting with a rare combination of ulcerative colitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis. The disease of the biliary tract was suspected on the basis of the endoscopic retrograde representation of the common bile duct, and serologically differentiated from a chronic destructive, non-supperative cholangitis on the basis of a lack of antimitochond...
متن کاملFrequency of Biliary Infection and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern in Patients with Extra-Hepatic Biliary Obstruction Undergoing Non-Surgical Interventions with Reused Accessories
Bile is normally sterile. Bactibilia occurs when bile flow is impaired and bacteria gain access to the biliary duct by the papilla or portal circulation. Bile duct obstruction leads sequentially to increase in intra biliary pressure, infection of bile, cholangiovenous and cholangiolymphatic reflux leading to bacteremia [1-3]. The bacteria described commonly in biliary tract infections include E...
متن کاملEstablishment of a novel rat model of severe acute cholangitis
Objective(s):This study aimed to establish a novel non-binding, reversible rat model of acute cholangitis of the severe type (ACST). Materials and Methods:Twenty-six rats were randomly divided into the sham-operated group (n=13) and the ACST group (n=13). All rats were intubated with a modified catheter through the external jugular vein. The ACST model was established by ligation of the distal ...
