Objective: To investigate the clinical epidemiology of intrahepatic cholelithiasis in Guangxi area, China.
Methods: 8585 cases of cholelithiasis proved by surgery in a period of 19 years were analyzed retrospectively. Data were collected and analyzed by computer software package PEMS.
Results: Cases of intrahepatic cholelithiasis accounted for more than one third of cases of cholelithiasis treated in the same period. The prevalence of intrahepatic cholelithiasis in farmers increased from 23.4% out of all cases with gallstone in 1981-1985 to 55.8% in 1991-1999. The constituent ratio of intrahepatic cholelithiasis in males was nearly the same in females. The peak prevalence age of patients with intrahepatic cholelithiasis ranged from 31 to 40 years, and the mortality was the highest among all bile stone cases.
Conclusion: Intrahepatic cholelithiasis is by no means a vanishing disease, especially in rural area.

Rationale: Pseudoaneurysm is a potential postoperative complication in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, with catheter-based interventions being the first-line treatment. This study reviews the literature on potential secondary complications following arterial embolization. Additionally, we report a case in which a dislodged embolization coil acted as a nidus for bile duct stone formation, leading to recurrent cholangitis.

BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown that peribiliary glands may be the potential cell origin of cholangiocarcinoma, and that precancerous lesions such as biliary intraepithelial neoplasms and intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct may arise from these peribiliary glands. However, whether and how these precancerous lesions progress to cholangiocarcinoma is controversial. CASE REPORT Herein, an autopsy case of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, exclusively periductal-infiltrating, is reported.

A 45-year-old male presented with jaundice, abdominal discomfort, and weight loss. Abdominal ultrasound revealed intrahepatic cholestasis and cholelithiasis indicative of Caroli-syndrome. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a corresponding 5 × 4 cm polycyclic, calcified mass and a distant 12 mm subhilar stenosis of the common bile duct resembling cholangiocarcinoma.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine the clinical symptoms, pathological features, and gene mutations associated with cholestatic liver disease in adults, analyzing eight cases from a hospital from 2010 to 2022.
- Among the eight patients (3 males, 5 females) with a median age of 24, various clinical phenotypes were identified, including cases related to familial intrahepatic cholestasis and pregnancy-related cholestasis, with many exhibiting liver fibrosis and cirrhosis.
- Genetic testing identified 11 mutations, including 8 new ones, with most found to be harmful, and all patients received treatment with Ursodeoxycholic acid.
