Authors
abstract
zellweger syndrome (zs) is a peroxisomal disorder with a multiple congenital anomalies, characterized by stereotypical facies, profound hypotonia, organ involvement including cerebral, retinal, hepatic, and renal. herein, a 3-month-old female with zs is presented who was referred because of increased liver enzymes (subclinical hepatitis), which was detected in work-up of her neck cyst, severe hypotonia, and abnormal facies. an increased concentration of very long chain fatty acid in lipid profile was detected. zs should be considered in the list of differential diagnosis in infants with stereotypical phenotype, neurodevelopmental delay, and severe hypotonia in association with liver and other organs involvement.

Introduction: Early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major risk factor affecting survival even after hepatectomy. Many clinical, biochemical parameters and pathological grading like fibrosis 1 index have been used for risk stratifying HCC. However not many studies have combined all of them. It is therefore important to risk stratify HCC especially with newer PE...
