22 liver biopsies from patients affected by brucellosis (Brucella melitensis) have been studied as far as granuloma formation is concerned. The first phase of granulomatous lesion seems to be the presence of monocytes within the hepatic sinusoids. Then we can observe small histiocytic granuloma and finally a "mature" (Adams [1]) granuloma, i.e. an organized collection of mature mononuclear phagocytes without necrosis, but sometimes with giant cells.

Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) affects small and medium vessel, which sometimes leads to arterial aneurysms. In English database, only 15 reports refer to ruptured aneurysms in MPA. We experienced a fatal case with MPA who developed multiple visceral aneurysms, resulting in rupture of the hepatic aneurysm.

Nickel pollution adversely affects human health and causes various disorders, mainly hepatic and renal dysfunction. The present work focused on a comparative evaluation of the pure form of curcumin (CU) with curcumin-encapsulated chitosan nanoconjugates (CS/CU NCs), on mitigation of the delirious effects of Ni on hepatorenal tissue. Forty-two male rats were allocated into 6 groups (n = 7 for each) as follows: (1) control, (2) CU, (3) CS/CU NCs, (4) Ni, (5) Ni + CU, (6) Ni + CS/CU NCs.

Liver masses are common in children, however primary malignant neoplasms are rare, representing only 1% of all pediatric cancers. Hepatocellular neoplasms are the most common primary liver malignancies and hepatoblastoma (HB) is the most frequently diagnosed. The incidence of HB, which is increasing, is approximately of 2 cases per million in the United States, followed by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Ghrelin reduced the profibrotic effect of IHC-Exo in liver fibrosis by regulating lncMALAT1/GPX4 pathway mediated HSCs ferroptosis. Triggering HSCs ferroptosis via GHR-IHC-Exo may become a novel strategy to alleviate the progression of liver fibrosis. Liver fibrosis is the end stage of the continuous progression of a variety of chronic liver diseases.

Hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma is a rare mesenchymal liver tumor within the perivascular epithelioid cell tumor family, known for its uncertain malignancy and potential for aggressive behavior. Clinical presentation, laboratory findings, and imaging results lack specificity, making pathological examination critical for definitive diagnosis. This case report presents a 61-year-old male patient with a single tumor in the right liver lobe, measuring approximately 101 mm × 99 mm.
