Biliary tract complications, which occur in 5.8% to 24.5% of adult liver transplant recipients, remain one of the most common problems following transplantation. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of biliary complications and analyze methods of treatment. From 1993 to 2004, 14 cases (10%) among 140 patients who had undergone liver transplantation developed biliary complications, third to respiratory and neurologic complications. In addition to biliary leakage in six cases, obstruction/stenosis occurred in three cases. One case of biliary fistula and one vanishing bile duct syndrome were observed. There was no death or need for retransplantation; all cases were treated surgically without recurrence. Biliary complications remain an important problem in liver transplantation. Endoscopic and radiologic management are effective in the majority of cases. Surgical intervention is obligatory and safe in selected cases.
Idiopathic myelofibrosis is often associated with myeloid metaplasia (extramedullary haemopoiesis) in the spleen and liver. However, the gall bladder is an extremely unusual site for it to occur. A 59 year old man with myelofibrosis, who underwent cholecystectomy for chronic cholecystitis, showed myeloid metaplasia in his gall bladder. Pathologically, this may lead to diagnostic difficulties.
