Subcutaneous fat necrosis is a classic, albeit uncommon, cause of neonatal hypercalcemia. It occurs in newborn infants within the first month of life following a complicated delivery. The diagnosis is usually easy because of the presence of red-purple plaques in fatty areas along with firm
Hyperamylasemia has been reported in more than 65% of patients with severe leptospirosis, and the true diagnosis of acute pancreatitis is complicated by the fact that renal failure can increase serum amylase levels. Based on these data we retrospectively analyzed the clinical and histopathological
Whipple's disease is a multisystem infectious disease caused by the bacterium Tropheryma whippelii. A case with an unusual presentation is reported. A 66-year-old man presented with a febrile vasculitic rash on his forearms. An extensive rheumatological, hematological and infectious workup gave

Sclerosing mesenteritis is a rare inflammatory disease of the bowel mesentery. It produces tumor-like masses of the mesentery composed of varying degrees of fibrosis, chronic inflammation, and fat necrosis. It has been described variously as fibrosing mesenteritis, retractile mesenteritis,
Retractile mesenteritis is a rare condition in which the inflammation process of the mesentery is the characteristic pathological. The histologic changes are variable proportions of fat necrosis, chronic inflammation and fibrosis. The clinical presentation of this process is diverse, also the
In a model developed to study acute pancreatitis in the dog, the disease process was comparable with the spontaneously occurring disease. Infusion of oleic acid into the accessory pancreatic duct induced, grossly and microscopically, acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis with pancreatic atrophy, fibrosis,
The occurrence of peritoneal loose bodies has been known for hundreds of years. Although rarely, they attain a diameter of more than 5 cm and are then named "giant" peritoneal bodies (gPLBs). Even these huge peritoneal bodies are generally symptom free, but may be linked with chronic symptoms like
The objective of this study was to characterize the clinical, clinicopathological, and histopathological findings of dogs with chronic pancreatitis. The necropsy database at Texas A&M University was searched for reports of dogs with histological evidence of chronic pancreatitis defined as
