Chronic hepatitis
Chronic persistent hepatitis (CPH) pattern:
- lymphocyte-predominant inflammation without:
- loss of hepatocytes immediately surrounding the portal region ("piecemeal necrosis")- more than slight fibrosis
Chronic active hepatitis (CAH) pattern:
- portal lymphocyte-predominant inflammation - piecemeal necrosis - inflammation extending outward beyond limiting plate of portal triad to involve periportal hepatocytes- some hepatocytes are simply entrapped by inflammation while others drop out (liquefaction necrosis)- acidophil cells (apoptotic) possible- eventually: bridging fibrosis and/or cirrhosis
Chronic hepatitis
Chronic hepatitis
Chronic hepatitis
Liver cirrhosis
- bridging fibrous septae in the form of delicate bands or broad scars linking portal tracts with one another and portal tracts with terminal hepatic veins
- parenchymal nodules containing proliferating hepatocytes encircled by fibrosis, with diameters varying from very small (<3 mm, micronodules) to large (several centimeters, macronodules)
- disruption of the architecture of the entire liver
Active cirrhosis:- piecemeal necrosis- extra-portal inflammation
Specific cause can sometimes be determined, (eg for viral infection, hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, and alcohol, if alcoholic hepatitis present)
Liver cirrhosis
Liver cirrhosis (Masson stain)
Liver cirrhosis
Hepatocarcinoma
- range of appearances from hepatocytes with little atypia forming sinusoidal, trabecular, or possibly tubular structures (well-differentiated)...
- ... to highly atypical hepatocytes in sheets (poorly differentiated)
- complete loss of bile ducts and Kupffer cells
- little sclerosis
Hepatocarcinoma
Hepatocarcinoma
Cholangiocarcinoma
- glands with cuboidal to columnar atypical and pleomorphic cells
- typical perineural and periductal growth pattern
- often desmoplastic stroma
- may contain signet cells
Cholangiocarcinoma
Cholangiocarcinoma
Metastatic carcinoma of the liver
microscopic features depend on the type of the primary tumor:
eg:
- small cell carinoma (lung)
- mucinous carcinoma (GI)
Metastatic carcinoma of the liver (small cell carcinoma)
Metastatic carcinoma of the liver (small cell carcinoma)
Metastatic carcinoma of the liver (mucinous carcinoma)
Metastatic carcinoma of the liver (mucinous carcinoma)
Miliary tuberculosis (liver)
numerous small TB granulomas
Miliary tuberculosis (liver)
Miliary tuberculosis (liver)
Chronic cholecystitis
(some use this diagnosis whenever gallstones are identified, whether chronic inflammation is seen or not, others require chronic inflammation)
- chronic inflammatory infiltration features
- Rokitansky's-Aschoff sinuses (diverticula with increased smooth muscle, related to chronic increase in lumenal pressure) usually present and may have associated bile granulomas
- possibly endarteritis obliterans
- „follicular cholecystitis”: same lesion with germinal centers in wall of gallbladder
Chronic cholecystitis
Chronic cholecystitis
Gall bladder carcinoma
- neoplastic glands lined by highly atypical cuboidal cells
- desmoplastic stroma often forms concentric surrounding fibrosis
Gall bladder carcinoma
Gall bladder carcinoma
Acute pancreatitis
Depending on the phase and severity:
- acute inflammation
- edema
- fat necrosis
- small vessel thrombosis
- necrosis of acini
- hemorrhages
- extensive necrosis of both fat and parenchyma
