Only two cases of myofibroblastic sarcoma in the liver have been reported in the literature. Here, we report the case of a male patient with high-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma mimicking echinococcosis in the liver. The 25-year-old male patient complained of right upper quadrant swelling pain for one week and was initially diagnosed with echinococcosis. He was then scheduled for an exploratory l...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the anatomical and functional renal alterations and the association with post-traumatic arterial hypertension. METHODS The studied population included patients who sustained high grades renal injury (grades III to V) successfully non-operative management after staging by computed tomography over a 16-year period. Beyond the review of medical records, these patients were ...

Introduction  Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) which is produced in abundance in the normal adult liver, is deeply involved in hepatocyte survival, growth, and differentiation during liver development. IGF-I plays the roles via the receptor (IGF-IR) signaling pathway. IGF-IR unlike IGF-I is expressed strongly in the developing liver, but much more weakly in adults. Objective:  We hypothesi...

INTRODUCTION Management of Liver Trauma may vary widely from NOM +/- angioembolization to Damage Control Surgery. Multidisciplinary management is essential for achieving better outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS During 2000-2009 period 308 patients with liver injury were admitted to level 1 trauma center and recorded in Trauma Registry. Collected data are demographics, AAST grade, initial treatme...

BackgroundNon-operative management (NOM) is accepted treatment of splenic injury, but this may fail leading to splenectomy. Splenic artery embolization (SAE) improve rate salvage. The purpose determine the cost-utility addition SAE for high-grade injuries.MethodsA analysis was developed compared NOM in patients with blunt injury. Sensitivity completed account uncertainty. Utility outcome qualit...

Abstract Background The liver is the second most injured organ following blunt abdominal trauma (BAT) after spleen. Although computed tomography (CT) scan considered as gold standard for diagnosing injury in BAT, it may not readily available all hospitals. This study was performed to evaluate role of aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine (ALT) patients with BAT its significance predicting di...

A retrospective study was carried out on 42 patients (38 males, 4 females, mean age 25.9) with liver injury at the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur from 1994 through to 1991. Prognostic factors that might help to identify those patient survival was related to pulse rate on arrival ( < or = 120 beats per minute, p = 0.027), systolic blood pressure at induction of anaesthesia ( > or = to 80 mmHg...

C injury to the liver leads to its fibrosis (1). Hepatitis B and C are examples of viral infections that cause chronic hepatitis; even asymptomatic patients show some degree of liver fibrosis (LF) that can range from mild to end-stage cirrhosis (2-4). Determining the degree of LF in chronic viral hepatitis is necessary in determining a patient’s prognosis and indications for therapy. Although l...
