Comparison of Platelet Count Reduction in Patients awaiting Liver Transplantation with and without Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis: A Cohort Study.

Background: Thrombocytopenia is the most well-known hematological abnormality occurring in patients with liver cirrhosis. However, the rate of platelet count reduction is not the same across different chronic liver disease etiologies. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to compare the differences in the platelet count levels between primary sclerosing cholangitis-related cirrhosis (PSC-C) and other causes of liver disease.

Cutaneous metastasis from carcinoma of the cervix at the drain site.

Background: Metastasis to the skin occurs rarely in gynecologic cancer, especially in cervical carcinoma. Although carcinoma of the cervix is the second to the fourth most common malignancy in women, cutaneous involvement originating from cervical cancer is particularly unusual, even in the terminal stage of the disease.

Case: We present a case of cervical cancer recurrence with skin metastasis.
