Abstract:
Hepatic rupture is an unusual complication of hepatic amyloidosis. We report the case of a 59-yr-old man with a subcapsular hematoma of the liver with hepatic rupture secondary to amyloidosis. The patient died during the surgery. The etiology, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of this complication are discussed. Previously reported cases of subcapsular hematoma of the liver secondary to amyloidosis are reviewed. This knowledge and an awareness of the possible diagnosis will help to decrease the high mortality rate associated with this complication.

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
