Granulomatous liver disease in Thailand: a 20-year retrospective clinicoradiopathological analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Granulomatous liver disease (GLD) is a rare condition with various aetiologies and is characterised by the formation of hepatic granulomas. A comprehensive evaluation of GLD from a broad perspective is lacking. We aimed to investigate the aetiology and the clinicoradiopathological characteristics of patients with GLD in recent decades in Thailand.

Methods

This retrospective study was conducted at a tertiary care centre in Thailand. All patients who underwent liver biopsy between 2003 and 2023 were reviewed. Patients with a histopathological report of granulomas in liver specimens were included. Clinical presentations, radiological data, and laboratory data closest to the procedure date were also collected.

Results

Of the 4384 liver biopsy specimens collected
