El linfoma cutáneo primario de células B (LCPCB) centrofolicular corresponde a una proliferación neoplásica infrecuente e indolente de células del centro germinal confinadas a la piel. Se reporta y revisa un caso de LCPCB centrofolicular.Paciente femenino de 76 años, con antecedentes de hipertensión arterial y resistencia a la insulina. Consultó por aumento de volumen frontal de dos años de evolución. Al examen físico destacaba un nódulo único en región frontal derecha. La ecografía de partes blandas fue compatible con quiste epidérmico. La histopatología demostró en dermis profunda, tejido adiposo subcutáneo y tejido muscular estriado una proliferación linfoide sólida dispuesta en patrón nodular y difuso. A la inmunohistoquímica (IHQ), los linfocitos fueron CD20 y BCL-6 positivo, con un Ki-67 de 60% y BCL-2, CD3, CD5 y CD10 negativo. El estudio de diseminación tumoral resultó negativo. El LCPCB centrofolicular concentra el 60% de todos los LCPCB. Se presenta en promedio a los 51 años. Se ha descrito asociación con Borrelia burgdorferi, VIH, virus hepatitis C y virus Epstein-Barr. Clínicamente corresponde a un nódulo eritematoso y asintomático, localizado preferentemente en cabeza, cuello y tronco. La IHQ es fundamental para diferenciarlo de otros tipos de LCPCB. Habitualmente, el tratamiento es con radioterapia o cirugía escisional. La supervivencia es de un 95% a 5 años. Se presenta este caso dado que el LCPCB centrofolicular corresponde a un tumor cutáneo infrecuente, con múltiples diagnósticos diferenciales, que requiere de un alto índice de sospecha para lograr un diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno.

Aim: To determine the frequency of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in patients with liver cirrhosis. Study Design: Retrospective/observational Place and Duration of Study: Department of Medicine, Chandka Medical College Hospital, Larkana from 1st July 2020 to 31st March 2021. Methodology: One hundred and twenty patients of both genders presented with liver cirrhosis were enrolled in this study. Patient’s detailed demographics including age, sex, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol consumption and family history of liver disease were recorded after taking written informed consent. Laboratory examination was done to examine the proportion of hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Results: There were 68 (56.67%) males and 52 (43.33%) were females with mean age 45.74±10.54 years. Among all the patients hepatitis C virus was found in 62 (51.67%) patients, 15 (12.5%) had hepatitis B virus, 17 (14.17%) had hepatitis B virus + hepatitis C virus and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis was found in 26 (21.67%) patients. Conclusion: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis was the major cause of liver cirrhosis in Pakistani population. The proportion of NASH in liver cirrhosis patients was 21.67%. Keywords: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), Liver Cirrhosis, Hepatitis B virus, Hepatitis C virus

Infeksi virus hepatitis B (VHB) dapat bermanifestasi dalam berbagai kondisi mulai dari asimtomatik (karier), hepatitis kronik, sirosis hati, sampai karsinoma hepatoseluler. Sampai saat ini VHB telah menyebabkan infeksi kronik pada 240 juta orang dan 75 % di antaranya berada di Asia.1 Insiden infeksi VHB dan Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) di Indonesia saat ini sangat meningkat.2-4 Infeksi virus hepatitis B (VHB) kronik 3-6 kali lebih sering pada pasien dengan HIV positif dibandingkan dengan HIV negatif. Pada beberapa penelitian didapatkan bahwa kecenderungan seorang pasien HIV untuk terinfeksi VHB tersamar dikaitkan dengan jumlah hitung CD4+ yang rendah, transmisi infeksi parenteral pada pengguna narkoba suntik, dan koinfeksi dengan hepatitis C.5

Abstract Background: Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus hepatitis (CAEBVH) in adult patients is a rare and highly lethal disease characterized by hepatitis and hepatomegaly.Aims: To investigate the clinicopathological features and pathogenic mechanisms in patients with CAEBVH.Methods:10 adult patients confirmed CAEBVH infection were collected. The clinicopathological characteristics were summarized and analyzed by clinical data. Flow cytometry to detect peripheral blood immune cell phenotypes, second-generation sequencing methods to explore pathogenic mechanisms, and immunohistochemical methods to verify pathogenic mechanisms.Results: The clinical features included splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, abnormal liver function, and CD8+T lymphopenia. HE also showed lymphocytic infiltration in liver tissue. EBER-ISH in lymphocytes of liver tissues were positive. Whole exon sequencing showed mutant genes were primarily enriched in 'T cell activation' and 'Complement and coagulation cascades'. The expression of CD8 in the CAEBVH group was higher than the controls in liver tissue (p<0.05). The same as the expression of Fas, FasL, Caspase-8, and TUNEL assay (p<0.05). Complement 1q (C1q) of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and Glisson's capsule (GC), as well as Complement 3d (C3d) of LSECs, were a higher expression in CAEBV infection than controls (p<0.05).Conclusion: Fas/FasL and complement activation were involved in adult patients with chronic active Epstein-Barr virus hepatitis.
