The portal tracts show mild mononuclear inflammatory cell infiltrate with minimal evidence of duct damage and only focal mild interface activity. The Kupffer cells appear to contain a slight increase in iron pigment. No definite viral inclusions or ground glass cells are seen. In addition, there are mild focal nodular regenerative hyperplasia- type changes. This can be related to the viral disease, or has been described in association with azathioprine therapy in liver allograft recipients.
Clinical correlation is suggested.
