Sclerosing peritonitis is a rare form of peritoneal inflammation with an often fatal outcome. The major risk factor of sclerosing peritonitis is peritoneal dialysis treatment but it can also occur following renal or liver transplantation or be associated with certain drug treatment. This article gives an overview of reasons and treatment options for sclerosing peritonitis and shows a summery of...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the cytologic findings of sclerosing adenosis of the breast. STUDY DESIGN We reviewed the fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytologic slides of 7 cases of sclerosing adenosis of the breast and compared the cytologic findings with those of 10 cases of fibroadenoma and 7 cases of fibrocystic change. RESULTS The smears of sclerosing adenosis were moderately to markedly cellular...

We sought to determine if adenosquamous proliferation of early cellular radial sclerosing lesions of the breast harbours hot spot mutations and to help clarify its relationship to low-grade adenosquamous carcinoma as a potential form of early neoplasia. Four low-grade adenosquamous carcinomas, early radial sclerosing lesions from 13 individuals, and 4 benign proliferative breast lesions were mi...

The association between autoimmune pancreatitis and sclerosing cholangitis has attracted considerable attention. In contrast to type 1 (IgG4-related) autoimmune pancreatitis, bile duct involvement is uncommon in type 2 autoimmune pancreatitis, a more benign condition characterized histologically by granulocytic epithelial lesions (GELs). Following our recent report on a child with GEL-positive ...

OBJECTIVE A rare subtype of meningioma, sclerosing meningioma is not included in the current World Health Organization classification of meningiomas and is classified into the category of other morphological variation subtypes. Sclerosing meningioma is often misdiagnosed to other non-benign meningioma or malignant neoplasm, so it is important to diagnose sclerosing type correctly. We analyzed t...

Sclerosing peritonitis is an uncommon complication of peritoneal dialysis. It is characterized by peritoneal fibrosis and sclerosis. The most common clinical presentations of sclerosing peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients are ultrafiltration failure and small bowel obstruction. The prognosis and response to immunosuppressive therapy of sclerosing peritonitis presenting with ultrafiltrat...

BACKGROUND Mammary sclerosing lobular hyperplasia is an uncommon benign lesion of adolescent and young women. Fine-needle aspiration cytology of mammary sclerosing lobular hyperplasia is said to show characteristic features that include an absence of stromal fragments. CASE PRESENTATION In this article, we describe a case of sclerosing lobular hyperplasia that occurred in the right breast of ...

Sclerosing hemangioma of the liver is an unusual tumor type. Because of its rarity and atypical radiologic findings, sclerosing hemangiomas can be difficult to distinguish from other lesions such as hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, metastasis, and organized abscesses. In this issue, we present a case consisting of both hepatic sclerosing hemangioma and cavernous hemangioma in a 63-...

The aetiology of primary sclerosing cholangitis is unknown, but it is closely associated with ulcerative colitis. Serum anticolon antibodies, crossreacting with portal tracts, have been reported in patients with ulcerative colitis but no studies have been carried out in primary sclerosing cholangitis. The frequency of serum anticolon antibodies and portal tract antibodies have been measured in ...
