ABSTRACT
Hepatic artery thrombosis is the most common vascular complication after liver transplantation. Early thrombosis is treated by surgical revascularization; if not feasible, there is need for urgent retransplantation. Late thrombosis is diagnosed mostly when clinical symptoms or graft dysfunction are present, in which case the only possible therapy is retransplantation. We present a case of a young patient with late thrombosis of an aorto-hepatic bypass, in whom we successfully used thrombolytic therapy with stent-graft placement.

Columnar cell carcinoma of the thyroid gland is a very rare malignant tumour with characteristic histological features. The tumour is characterized by typical aggressive behaviour and unfavourable prognosis. We describe a case of this carcinoma in 69-year-old man. We present clinical and histological features of this tumour. In addition, we present features of this tumour in fine-needle aspirates, which were described only in a few cases in literature so far.
