  • human pentastomiasis caused by armillifer moniliformis in malaysian borneo
    American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2011
    Co-Authors: Baha Latif, Noriah Othman, Effat Omar, Dennis Tappe
    Abstract:

    We report a case of visceral pentastomiasis caused by Armillifer moniliformis in a 70-year-old aboriginal farmer from rural Malaysian Borneo. The patient complained of upper abdominal pain, jaundice, and loss of weight. Radiological investigations and subsequent histopathological examination revealed an adenocarcinoma of the pancreas with an adjacent Liver Nodule containing a nymph of A. moniliformis. This report constitutes the first documented human pentastomid infection in the whole of Malaysia after nearly 40 years, and it is the third description from Malaysian Borneo. Cases of human and animal pentastomiasis in Malaysia are discussed.

  • Suspicious Liver Nodule in chronic Liver disease: Usefulness of a second biopsy
    Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging, 2018
    Co-Authors: V. Cartier, A. Crouan, M. Esvan, F. Oberti, S. Michalak, B. Gallix, O. Seror, A. Paisant, V. Vilgrain, C. AubÉ
    Abstract:

    Purpose To assess the usefulness of a second biopsy when the first one was inconclusive in patients with a Liver Nodule found during the follow-up for chronic Liver disease. Materials and methods Among 381 patients (544 Nodules) included in a prospective study designed to evaluate the accuracy of imaging for the diagnosis of small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in chronic Liver disease, 254 Nodules were biopsied. The following histological results were considered as conclusive: HCC, dysplastic or regenerative Nodule, and other identified tumors (benign or malignant). For Nodules with inconclusive results (e.g. fibrosis or no definite focal lesion), a second biopsy was suggested, but was not mandatory. Results A total of 242 patients (194 men, 48 women; mean age, 61.9 ± 9.5 [SD]; range: 40.2–89.0 years) with 254 Nodules underwent a first biopsy. Mean Nodule diameter was 19.2 ± 5.4 mm (range: 10–33 mm). The first biopsy was conclusive in 189/254 Nodules (74.4%): 157 HCCs (83.1%), 11 regenerative Nodules (5.8%), 10 dysplastic Nodules (5.3%), 3 cholangiocarcinomas (1.6%), and 8 other tumors (4.2%). Among the 65 Nodules for which the first biopsy was inconclusive, a second biopsy was performed for 17 Nodules in 16 patients within 6 months of the first one. It was conclusive in 13/17 Nodules (76.5%): 10 HCCs (76.9%), 2 dysplastic Nodules (15.4%), and 1 other tumor (7.7%). In 4/17 Nodules (23.5%), no definitive diagnosis could be provided. Conclusion The diagnostic yield of a second biopsy of a suspicious lesion suggestive of HCC in chronic Liver disease is not decreased compared to the first one. Repeated biopsy after a first negative one could be an alternative option to the follow-up of patients with chronic Liver disease.
