The disease is endemic in South and Central America, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean region, many parts of Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Australia, and China.

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is functionally active only as a dimer. It is also generally assumed that the highly homologous hepatic lipase functions as a dimer, but no clear evidence has been presented. A hepatic lipase-like activity, also indicated as L-type lipase, is present in adrenal and ovary tissues. This enzyme is thought to originate from the liver and to be identical to hepatic lipase. W...

UNLABELLED Primary liver carcinosarcoma is a very rare disease. There have been only a few cases described to date, none of which has been imaged by bone scintigraphy. A 69-year-old man who developed right back pain and weight loss was admitted to our hospital. Tenderness of the right upper abdomen, hepatomegaly, and a giant mass were the main physical examination signs. Abdominal ultrasonograp...

hydatid disease, caused by larval stage of echinococcus granulosus, is a common parasitic infection of human and animal. although liver and lung are the most commonly affected area, hydatid cyst may develop any part of the body. primary subcutaneous hydatid cyst is extremely rare. we report a case of 54 years old man who presented with palpable mass in scapular region from 3 years ago. present ...

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis, constitutes almost one-fifth of all tuberculosis cases and less than 1% of all cases involving liver. Here we report a case of isolated hepatic tuberculoma mimicking solitary liver mass on MRI, recovered with antiTB treatment. The radiologic features of hepatic tuberculoma can mimic liver tumors, cholangiocarcinomas, liver abscess and hydatid cyst, or may present wi...

Ectopic liver is a rare entity discussed infrequently in the surgical literature. Liver ectopia develops due to rests of liver parenchyma retained at various intraperitoneal or intrathoracic locations during migration of the liver proper during embryologic development. It is usually found during exploration for other diagnoses, commonly diseases of the biliary tree. We report a case in which a ...
