Résumé
Oesophageal cancer is endemic in some regions of the Islamic Republic of Iran and efforts have been made to find factors that play a role in its prognosis. We retrospectively examined the correlation of serum alkaline phosphatase [ALP] levels with several clinicopathological characteristics of 207 cases of oesophageal carcinoma. The mean ALP level in patients with lymph node involvement was significantly higher [141 [SD 77] U/L] than with node negative cancers [116 [SD 63] U/L]. Patients with ALP level > 165 U/L were 3.29 times more likely to have lymph node involvement than patients with ALP level

Nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver [NRHL] is characterized by hepatocellular nodules without fibrous septa between the nodules, and has been described in association with certain diseases. The NHRL should be considered in a liver mass and coexisting portal hypertension. We described the case of a 33-year-old Iranian man with NRHL in association with essential thrombocythemia
