Karaciğer Kalsifikasyonu Nedeniyle Sunulan Üç Çocuk Olgu

Year 2016, Volume: 10 Issue: 2, 126 - 129, 01.06.2016

Abstract

Karaciğer kalsifikasyonları çocukluk çağında sanılanın aksine oldukça sık görülmektedir. Enfeksiyon hastalıklarından tüberküloz ve kist hidatikte; tümoral oluşumlardan hepatik hamartom, hepatoselüler karsinom, hepatoblastomda; vasküler lezyonlardan hemanjiyoendotelyoma, arteriyovenöz malformasyon, anevrizmalarda ve bilier sistemin taşlarında karaciğerde kalsifiye lezyonlara rastlanılabilir. Burada hastanemize iştahsızlık, karın ağrısı, kilo kaybı, öksürük, ateş gibi nonspesifik semptomlarla başvuran ve yapılan tetkikler sırasında rastlantısal olarak karaciğerde kalsifiye lezyon tespit edilen üç olgu sunulmuştur. Yapılan klinik ve laboratuvar incelemeler sonucunda iki hastada (2. olgu, 3. olgu) geçirilmiş ve kalsifikasyonla sonuçlanmış tüberküloz, diğerinde ise (1. olgu) aktif akciğer tüberkülozu ile rastlantısal olarak eş zamanlı gelişen karaciğer kist hidatiği tespit edilmiştir.

Three Pediatric Cases Presenting with Hepatic Calcification

Year 2016, Volume: 10 Issue: 2, 126 - 129, 01.06.2016

Abstract

Hepatic calcifications are seen frequently in childhood contrary to expectations. Infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and hydatid cyst; tumoral lesions such as hepatic hamartoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and hepatoblastoma; vascular lesions such as hemangioendothelioma, arteriovenous malformations, and aneurysms; and calculi of the biliary system can be the reason of hepatic calcifications. We present 3 cases with hepatic calcifications that were incidentally diagnosed with laboratory examinations for nonspecific complaints such as loss of appetite, abdominal pain, weight loss, cough and fever in this report. The diagnosis was calcified tuberculosis granuloma in two cases (cases 2 and 3) and active pulmonary tuberculosis with coincidental calcified hepatic hydatid cyst in the other case (case 1)
