Article Abstract
The etiology of cholestatic liver disease is complex, with clinical manifestations being nonspecific, and biochemical abnormalities mainly characterized by elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT). Due to the lack of specific symptoms and diverse causes, the diagnosis poses certain challenges. Here, we present a case of liver cirrhosis with predominant cholestatic features of unknown etiology. Despite multiple comprehensive routine etiological screenings and liver biopsies, the diagnosis remained unclear. Subsequent whole exome sequencing revealed the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis caused by familial cholestasis related to a mutation in the ZFYVE19 gene. Through this case report analysis, we aim to broaden the diagnostic approach for cholestatic liver disease of unknown etiology, identify the cause accurately, and intervene promptly.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) is a clinically indolent lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by accumulation of mature B-cell lymphocytes. Given the common CD5 co-expression, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is one of the most important entities in the differential diagnosis. MCL and CLL/SLL might exhibit overlapping morphologic and immunohistochemical features, making diagnosis particularly difficult in cases of composite lymphomas.

Dent disease is a rare X-linked recessive inherited renal tubular disorder characterized by low molecular weight proteinuria (LMWP), hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, and other clinical features, and can lead to progressive renal failure. It is primarily caused by mutations in the gene. This article reports the case of a 10-year-old male patient of Chinese descent who was incidentally found to have asymptomatic proteinuria during a routine health examination.

Kommerell's diverticulum (KD) combined with a right-sided aortic arch (RAA) and an aberrant left subclavian artery (ALSA) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly causing significant compressive dysphagia. Treatment options, including open surgery, thoracic endovascular aortic repair and hybrid approaches, are debated due to anatomical complexities. We report a 48-year-old female with dysphagia from symptomatic KD, RAA and ALSA, clearly delineated by preoperative computed tomography angiography.
