Portal cavernoma cholangiopathy treated with living donor liver transplantation: a case report and review of the literature.

Portal cavernoma cholangiopathy (PCC) is a complex condition associated with portal hypertension, particularly in patients with extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO). Herein, we present a case of liver failure with PCC in a 55-year-old male successfully treated with living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT). The patient had a history of gastrointestinal bleeding and recurrence of cholangitis.

Abnormally Low Alanine Aminotransferase Ameliorated by a Living Donor Liver Transplantation: A Case Report.

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of amino groups from alanine to ketoglutaric acid. ALT is an established marker of liver diseases. Occasionally, ALT levels may be abnormally low due to various factors, making accurate assessment difficult.

Postoperative long‑term outcomes of acute normovolemic hemodilution in pancreatic cancer: A propensity score matching analysis.

Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is a useful intraoperative blood conservation technique. However, the impact on long-term outcomes in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains unclear. The present study investigated the impact of ANH on long-term outcomes in patients with PDAC undergoing radical surgery.

Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma arising from the lymph node of the pancreatic head: a case report with literature review.

A 72-year-old man was referred to our hospital for the examination of a pancreatic head mass. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a contrasted 8-cm-diameter tumor extending from the dorsal pancreatic head to the porta hepatis. The preoperative diagnosis was challenging due to the absence of specific imaging findings and the inability to perform a biopsy.
