background: magnetic resonance cholangiography (mrc) has gained popularity for diagnosing primary sclerosing cholangitis (psc). we determined the accuracy of mrc compared with endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (erc) for diagnosing psc. materials and methods: this retrospective case-control study was conducted on patients referred to an outpatient gastroenterology clinic from 2001 to 2013. p...

Minimal change nephropathy is relatively uncontroversial. This can be defined as the condition associated with the nephrotic syndrome in which glomeruli have no abnormality on light microscopy. Segmental sclerosing glomerular disorders are often called focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, one of the most controversial terms in kidney disease. The tubular opening is the earliest site at which seg...

Primary sclerosing cholangitis, a chronic progressive cholestatic liver disease, is the most serious hepatobiliary complication of ulcerative colitis (UC). The authors present the case of a severe and intractable form of UC associated with primary sclerosing cholangitis, in which the diagnosis of this hepatobiliary complication was made during the postmortem examination.

Background: Spindle cell/Sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma is the rarest variant of rhabdomyosarcoma, accounting for 5-10% all cases. Pathologically, these tumors can provide a variety features and resemble other tumors, thus often difficult to diagnose. We report case sclerosing gingiva with histomorphology mimicking malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor. Case Presentation: The patient was 39-year...

The prevalence of primary sclerosing cholangitis in the United States is approximately 1–6 cases per 100,000 population. Most patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis are men (75%) with an average age of approximately 40 years at diagnosis. The overwhelming majority of patients affected with primary sclerosing cholangitis are Caucasian. The etiology is unknown but current opinion favors an ...

Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a progressive disease, and coincidentally in pregnancy it is rare. It is characterized by progressive inflammation and destruction of bile ducts finally resulting in liver failure. A rare case of primary sclerosing cholangitis in pregnancy is presented. The course of the pregnancy was marked by threatened preterm delivery and exacerbation of cholestasis. She wa...

Background: One of the most serious late complications, after evacuation of liver hydatid cyst and instillation of scolicidal agents is sclerosing cholangitis, most probably caused by the type of scolicidal agents instilled. Objective:  To determine the incidence of sclerosing cholangitis after intra-biliary tract infusion of 5% saline and 0.5% silver nitrate. Methods: 5% hypertonic saline and ...

Sclerosing Adenosis (SA) is a lobulocentric proliferative process that involves both the epithelial and the mesenchymal component of the breast suggesting benignity. The disease has an increased incidence among reproductive-age and perimenopausal women, especially be age. The clinical, radiological, and histopathological properties of sclerosing adenosis may resemble malignancy, which is the fa...

Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a chronic cholestatic liver disease characterized by inflammation and fibrosis of the bile ducts, resulting in cirrhosis and need for liver transplantation and reduced life expectancy. The majority of cases occur in young and middle-aged men, often in association with inflammatory bowel disease. The etiology of primary sclerosing cholangitis includes immune-med...
