Article Abstract
Primary cholangiocarcinoma is a rare bile duct epithelial neoplasm that can present with atypical clinical manifestations, complicating its diagnosis. A 62-year-old male showed symptoms suggestive of a complicated hepatic cyst that was later identified as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The patient presented with abdominal discomfort without fever. Imaging revealed a large cystic lesion in the liver. Despite the initial treatment for a presumed abscess, a biopsy confirmed cholangiocarcinoma. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of distinguishing between benign complicated hepatic cysts and malignancies, particularly when typical markers of infection are absent. Early biopsy and vigilant assessments are crucial in such presentations to avoid a delayed diagnosis and initiate appropriate treatment.

Structural and functional neural correlates of sensorimotor deficits in progression of hepatic encephalopathy.

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neurological condition that occurs as a complication of liver dysfunction that involves sensorimotor symptoms in addition to cognitive and behavioral changes, particularly in cases of severe liver disease or cirrhosis. Previous studies have reported spatially distributed structural and functional abnormalities related to HE, but the exact relationship between the structural and functional alterations with respect to disease progression remains unclear. In this study, we performed surface-based cortical thickness comparisons and functional connectivity (FC) analyses between three cross-sectional groups: healthy controls (HC, = 51), patients with minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE, = 50), patients with overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE, = 51).

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB), particularly when it involves the central nervous system (CNS), remains a significant clinical challenge. Cerebral tuberculoma, though rare, can present with complex symptoms that overlap with other neurological conditions, making timely diagnosis difficult. The condition demands a multidisciplinary approach for accurate diagnosis and effective management, especially in patients with multiple comorbidities.

Malaria and amoebic infections are considered risk factors for stillbirth and preterm labor, but their coexistence during pregnancy has not been previously reported. We describe the first case of averted maternal mortality with fetal death in utero at 22 weeks' gestation, complicated by both malaria and hepatic amoebic abscess, in a rural hospital in Burundi. Amoebic liver abscesses are rarely described in pregnancy and, as far as we are aware, never in conjunction with severe malaria: two parasitic infections requiring completely different treatments.

Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided biliary drainage has been reported as an alternative technique when transpapillary endoscopic biliary drainage fails. This case study describes a case of pseudoaneurysm, one of the complications unique to endoscopic ultrasonography-guided biliary drainage. An 87-year-old woman who underwent endoscopic ultrasonography-guided hepaticojejunostomy with a partially covered metallic stent developed hematochezia.

Sepsis-induced liver injury (SILI) is a serious complication of septicemia and contributes to high rates of patient death. SILI is characterized by excessive hepatic reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, leading to inflammatory response activation and the release of inflammatory mediators that yield liver damage. Efforts to design drugs that can mitigate oxidative stress and inflammatory factor production are thus vital to protecting patients against SILI.
