  • Title: [Nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver and primary biliary cirrhosis. A fortuitous association?].
    Author: Chazouillères O, Andreani T, Legendre C, Poupon R, Darnis F.
    Journal: Gastroenterol Clin Biol; 1986 Nov; 10(11):764-6. PubMed ID: 3803811.
    Abstract:
    We report here in a case of primary biliary cirrhosis associated with nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver in a white woman revealed by digestive hemorrhage due to ruptured esophageal varices. The diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis was based on the following: elevated serum IgM, high titer of antimitochondrial antibody (anti M2), typical histopathological picture of stage I/II disease. The diagnosis of nodular regenerative hyperplasia was supported by the demonstration of disseminated small hepatic nodules without perinodular fibrosis. This association may be a supplementary argument in favor of a possible autoimmune origin of nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver.
