Chronic hepatitis:Section from this liver biopsy show: • Moderate chronic inflammatory cells infiltration consisting of lymphocytes and histiocytesin both portal tracts and liver parenchyma. • Piecemeal necrosis, hepatocytes swelling and “spotty” hepatocytes necrosis are also noticed.
IRREGULAR NODULES SEPARATED BY PORTAL-to-PORTAL FIBROUS BANDS
Cirrhosis • Very low power microscopic view of the liver. • The parenchyma shows darker tan nodules of varying sizes. • These nodules are composed of hepatocytes. • The paler areas in between are collagen.
Cirrhosis of the liver:Section of liver show: • Loss of lobular architecture and formation of regenerative nodules of variable size and shape, surrounded by fibrous tissue. • Each nodules consists of liver cells without any arrangement and with no central vein. • Large number of proliferated bile ducts and chronic inflammatory cells are present in fibrous tissue.
Liver tissue containing a pale and yellowish nodular hepatic mass with areas of hemorrhage and necrosis.
This example of well-differentiated HCC shows a trabecular pattern with intervening sinusoids.
Well differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma showing: Distorted hepatic architecture, thick hepatic trabeculae , with mildly atypical hepatocytes showing large nuclei and prominent nucleoli.
The malignant liver cells are pleomorphic, binucleated or forming giant cells with hyperchromatic nuclei. Mitoses are numerous. g
Hepatocellular carcinoma:Section show tumour consisting of: • Thick cords, trabeculaeand nests of malignant liver cells separated by sinusoidal spaces. • Malignant liver cells are atypical hepatocytes showing large nuclei and prominent nucleoli. • Patients with Hepatitis B and C have a risk to develop hepatic carcinoma, (Serology for hepatitis B and C status). • Tumor marker: Alpha-fetoprotein.
Chronic cholecystitis:Section of gallbladder wall shows: • Irregular mucosal folds and foci of ulceration in mucosa. • Wall is penetrated by mucosal glands which are present in muscle coat ( Rokitansky- Aschoff sinuses). • All layers show chronic inflammatory cells infiltration and fibrosis.
Hepatocellular necrosis due to paracetamol (acetaminophen). Confluent necrosis with little inflammation is seen in a perivenular area.
Drug Toxicity • Liver injury due to medications or other toxic agents. • Can resemble any liver process; clinical correlation essential in diagnosis. Histopathology: Changes that can be seen are: • Cholestasis • Steatosis • Granulomas • HepatocellularNecrosis
