January 2025
Division of Hepatology, Department of Medicine II, Leipzig University Medical Center, Leipzig, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- A 45-year-old man exhibited symptoms of jaundice, abdominal pain, and weight loss, leading to the diagnosis of Caroli syndrome through imaging.
- Subsequent MRI suggested the presence of a mass and bile duct stenosis that raised concerns for cholangiocarcinoma, but serology indicated an echinococcus infection instead.
- The patient ultimately underwent liver surgery, which confirmed the diagnosis of alveolar echinococcosis, emphasizing the challenges in diagnosing this neglected disease, especially in rising incidence areas like Germany.

Fascioliasis is one of the most common foodborne zoonotic infection of ruminants in Bangladesh. To estimate the prevalence and associated risk factors of fascioliasis and extent of liver damage, 825 livers of sheep and goats were randomly inspected during onsite slaughterhouse visiting in Naogaon, Natore, Rajshahi and Joypurhat districts. The overall prevalence of fascioliasis was 25.

Unlabelled: a single-centre experience in bi- and uni-segmentectomies for primary liver tumours in children.
Methods: This study included 23 patients that underwent (bi)segmentectomy. There were 15 malignant tumours (hepatoblastoma-13 patients), 7 benign tumours, and 1 calcifying nested stromal epithelial tumour.
We present the case of an 82-year-old woman with history of right colon adenocarcinoma in whom a routine control scan is performed using a dual-layer detector spectral CT scanner. Conventional CT scan images show a dilated cystic bile duct with no apparent cause of obstruction, finding also no lithiasis inside the gallbladder. Non-calcified gallstones are composed mainly of cholesterol and can have the same radiographic density as bile, making them hard or impossible to spot on conventional CT.

Pancreatic pseudocyst is a common complication of pancreatitis and is usually located in the peripancreatic space, spleen, and retroperitoneum. An infected intrahepatic pseudocyst following acute on chronic pancreatitis is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of intrahepatic pancreatic pseudocyst with superimposed infection following chronic pancreatitis in a 42-year-old female who presented with severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and bloating sensation.
