Nodular Regenerative Hyperplasia in Common Variable Immunodeficiency

Common variable immunodeficiency and nodular lynphoid hyperplasia: case report

Background Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia (NLH) of intestine is an extremely rare lymphoproliferative disorder of uncertain etiology. Usually, polyps benign lymphoid tissue are present in the intestinal mucosa. It may present as an asymptomatic or manifest with gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, occult bleeding or intestinal obstruction. NLH found in association w...

Nodular Regenerative Hyperplasia

Introduction: Nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH) is a known etiology of noncirrhotic portal hypertension. Cases of biopsy-proven NRH in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–positive patients have been described. While these patients often have normal synthetic liver function, several reports described disease progression to liver failure. Case: We here present a 26-year-old woman with history...

Diffuse Nodular Lymphoid Hyperplasia of the Intestine Caused by Common Variable Immunodeficiency and Refractory Giardiasis

Diffuse nodular lymphoid hyperplasia of the gastrointestinal tract is a rare disease characterized by numerous small polypoid nodules in the small intestine, large intestine, or both. It is associated with immunodeficiency and infection, such as Giardia lamblia and Helicobacter pylori. Although diffuse nodular lymphoid hyperplasia associated with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and giar...

Nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver.

Nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH), characterized by diffuse hepatic micronodular transformation in groups without fibrous septa between the nodules, is a rare benign liver lesion that has many synonyms in previous literature. Pathologic evaluation is the mainstay of accurate diagnosis. Treatment is focused on its underlying conditions and complications of portal hypertension. A 39-year-old...
