摘要

Amyloidosis is a protein deposition disorder caused by pathologic accumulation of fbrils, leading to organ dysfunction. Thenewest protein is Leukocyte Cell-derived Chemotaxin 2 Amyloidosis (ALECT2), which shows ethnic predilection for Hispanics,Middle Eastern, and other minority groups. We report a case of 71-year-old Persian male with history of hepatitis B and resectedhepatocellular carcinoma who presented with acute onset jaundice and abnormal liver function tests. Liver biopsy performedfor diagnostic workup revealed hepatic ALECT2 with distinct signet-ring like globular proteinaceous deposits infltrating hepaticparenchyma, mimicking epithelioid/histiocytic neoplasm. The infltrative spherular material was positive for Congo red and negativefor pan-keratin stains. Amyloid protein analysis by Liquid Chromatography tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC MS/MS) identifed apeptide profle indicative of ALECT2. Although, ALECT2 accounts for the second most common cause of hepatic amyloidosis, onlylimited cases of hepatic ALECT2 are reported in the literature and little is known about patient management, especially the roleof transplant as curative option. In summary, hepatic ALECT2 is an emerging disorder with relative high prevalence that deservesmorphologic recognition. The report intends to emphasise distinctive morphology for accurate diagnosis and understanding itspathogenesis, clinical signifcance, and therapeutic strategies.
