Intrahepatic bile duct hyperplasia in a baby with partial trisomy of the long arm of 17 chromosome

Abstract

The paper describes a clinical and anatomical case of partial trisomy of the long arm of 17 chromosome in a baby aged 1 month and 4 days with the karyotype 46,XY, dup(17)(q21q24) from a dichorionic diamniotic twin born after in vitro fertilization. Intrahepatic bile duct hyperplasia was first detected in the patient with this chromosomal abnormality. Histological and immunohistochemical examinations of the liver were conducted using antibodies to Ki-67, CK-pan, CK8, CK 18, Vim, SMA, CD31, CD34, HER-2/neu.
