Portal hypertension and ascites in systemic mastocytosis.
We report a case of systemic mastocytosis (SM) presenting as ascites and portal hypertension. The haematological picture at presentation was suggestive of chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia.

The correct diagnosis was established only after tissue sections were appropriately stained for mast cel...
متن کاملSystemic mastocytosis, myelofibrosis and portal hypertension.
A case of systemic mastocytosis is described in which the finding on initial presentation was hepatosplenomegaly. No dermatological abnormality was present, and the bone marrow histology originally caused some confusion with primary myelofibrosis.

Although rare, infiltration of inflammatory mast cells within the portal vein may lead to obstruction of the sinusoids resulting in non-cirrhotic portal hypertension. We present a patient with known history of systemic mastocytosis with bone marrow involvement presenting wit...
متن کاملAngiogenesis and portal-systemic collaterals in portal hypertension.
In patients with advanced liver disease with portal hypertension, portal-systemic collaterals contribute to circulatory disturbance, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, hepatic encephalopathy, ascites, hepatopulmonary syndrome and portopulmonary hypertension. Angiogenesis has a pivotal role in the formation of portal-systemic shunts. Recent research has defined many of the mediators and mechanisms inv...
متن کاملMyxedema accompanied by huge portal-systemic shunt without portal hypertension.
