Ischemic colitis, a potentially reversible pathology of the colon, can masquerade in its presentation as colonic carcinoma. It typically presents with cramping abdominal pain, diarrhea, and per-rectal bleeding. Colonoscopy remains the diagnostic modality of choice that typically shows friable, edematous, or erythematous mucosa with scattered hemorrhagic erosions or ulcerations.

Ischemic colitis (IC), the most common gastrointestinal ischemia, remains an enigmatic disease with a wide array of pathogenic mechanisms and injuries along with variable outcomes. Among this group, isolated right colon ischemia (IRCI) appears to be a distinct entity, with its own pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and higher morbidity and mortality compared to left-sided colitis. IRCI is the most common site of mass-forming ischemic colitis.

Mass-Forming Portal Biliopathy Presenting as Extreme Wall-Thickening of the Common Bile Duct.

Diagnostics (Basel)

August 2020

Department of Radiology, University of Groningen, University Medical Center Groningen, P.O. Box 30 001, 9700 RB Groningen, The Netherlands.

Portal biliopathy refers to biliary tree abnormalities in patients with peribiliary collateral vessels and non-neoplastic extrahepatic portal vein occlusion. These biliary abnormalities are caused by vascular compression and ischemic damage of the biliary tree, which can result in bile duct compression, stenosis, fibrotic strictures, bile duct dilation, and thickening of the bile duct wall. Portal biliopathy is difficult to distinguish from cholangiocarcinoma, IgG4-related disease, and sclerosing cholangitis.
