Slide 92: Liver with cirrhosis
 |
Even though this slide
is generally faded, it is still possible to see the nodularity of the liver
by just viewing it on a white background.
See this slide with the
virtual microscope. |

This is an unbelievable
example of cirrhosis! Look at the slide on a white background first to
see the degree of nodularity. You will see the bridging fibrosis between
triads with "triadal collapse," as well as a marked inflammatory infiltrate
throughout this slide. What would you suspect to be the etiologic agent
of this particular case? Hint: the combination of liver and pancreatic
disease suggests a short chain hydrocarbon with toxic properties might
be at work. (Ethanol perhaps?) |
