摘要
Sclerogenic biliary changes in hepatic amyloidosis are seldom observed. Here, we report two recent cases initially suspected as primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), which were later diagnosed as hepatic amyloidosis (AL type). Case 1: On the basis of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) findings, PSC was suspected in a 41-year-old woman with jaundice. Computed tomography (CT) showed nodular pulmonary lesions and swollen cervical, mediastinal and para-aortic lymph nodes, the cause of which was unknown despite detailed examinations. Because of rapid deterioration in the patient's liver function, living donor liver transplantation was performed. She was then diagnosed with hepatic amyloidosis, but died of heart failure due to cardiac amyloidosis 74days after surgery. Case 2: On the basis of MRCP findings, PSC was suspected in a 49-year-old woman with jaundice. CT showed multiple cystic pulmonary lesions, and hypogammaglobulinemia was also observed (immunoglobulin G, 481mg/dL). After a biliary plastic stent was placed, liver and lung biopsy confirmed the presence of amyloid deposition. These two cases indicate that it is important to consider hepatic amyloidosis as a differential diagnosis of PSC. The presence of atypical extrahepatic lesions may be useful clues for confirming the diagnosis.
