Introduction |
![]() The nodular hyperplasia of the hepatic parenchyma is not necessarily related to the steroid hepatopathy in this dog. Multiple hyperplastic nodules are common and incidental findings in older dogs’ livers. Nodules alone, without accompanying evidence of tissue damage and fibrosis, should never be misconstrued as being indicative of cirrhosis (end-stage liver).It is common to see non-specific hydropic or fatty degeneration of cells within some hyperplastic nodules. Some nodules may resemble reversed hepatic lobules by having portal areas at the centre rather than central veins and vice versa.Have you found the other active area in the low power image?
