A. Brief Descriptions:

1. Mainly due to chronic viral hepatitis.

2. Irregular size of nodules.

B. Gross Findings：

1. Fibrosis, regenerated nodules & complete vascular distortion of the liver.

C. Micro Findings：

1. Nodules of varying size.

2. Thick or thin fibrous septi.

3. Inflammatory cells, bile ducts, vessels within the fibrous septi.

【 Fig. 117-1 (LP)】The entire liver parenchyma is divided into nodules of variable size.

【 Fig. 117-3 (LP)】Widening and fibrosis of periportal area connecting with each other resulting in nodules formation.  Note dense inflammatory cells infiltrate in fibrotic bands.

　

 

 

【 Fig. 117-4 (LP)】Areas of fatty metamorphosis of hepatocytes are also seen.
