- Biliary epithelial cells
Hepatocytes infiltrated with neutrophils and maybe bacteria indicate
Neutrophilic bacterial hepatitis
You see clustered hepatocytes with macrophages. This indicates
Chronic hepatitis
You note round cells in the liver. What does this indicate
Neoplastic metastasis to liver
Your liver sample has hepatocytes with fine, vacuolar appearance. What does this suggest
Glucocoritcoid hepatopathy (glycogen granules dissolved by fixation)
You seen black pigment arund hepatocytes. What does this suggest
Cholestasis
You notice intra and inter-hepatic vacuoles. What does this indicate
Hepatic lipidosis
