A rare case of fibrohistiocytic hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor with cholecystocholangitis showing positive IgG4 staining.

Inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is a rare benign mass characterized by infiltration of inflammatory cells and proliferation of fibrous tissues. Consistent with increasing knowledge about IgG4-related disease (RD), it has been implicated in the etiology of hepatic IPT, which is pathologically classified into two categories with respect to the proportion of IgG4-positive plasma cells: fibrohistiocytic- and lymphoplasmacytic-type. A 66-year-old man was admitted for treatment of cholecystocholangitis.

Early gastric cancer with lanthanum deposition mucosa by endoscopic submucosal dissection: a case report and literature review.

Lanthanum carbonate is used to prevent hyperphosphatemia in dialysis patients with chronic renal failure and generally recognized as poorly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. However, some clinical cases of lanthanum deposition in the stomach have been shown. In addition, few endoscopic images of lanthanum deposition have been reported, particularly with respect to early-stage gastric cancer.
