Introduction
   

Case 2:

History:

A sheep liver was submitted from an abattoir for histopathology. The liver was mildly reduced in size and was coarsely multinodular throughout.

 

At low magnification, loss of parenchyma (hepatic atrophy) is suggested by the small size of some of the hepatic lobules and by the irregular approximation of adjacent portal areas and central veins. The portal areas are abnormally prominent and basophilic.

In the lower right corner, there is a large hyperplastic parenchymal nodule in which the hepatocytes have undergone mild fatty degeneration.
