Autoimmune hepatitis. Expanded portal regions with dull edges suggestive of interface hepatitis (UL 40X). PAS without diastase shows interface hepatitis (UR 200X). Abundant plasma cells seen at higher power (LL 400X). PAS with diastase shows intense inflammation of portal triad stroma, with some reduplication of ductal epithelium. The patient’s vial serology and anti-microbial antibody were negative. (LR 200X). | |||

Chronic hepatitis with changes of autoimmune hepatitis and with cirrhosis and steatosis. Trichrome shows blue fibrosis about hepatocyte nodules with steatosis (UL, 40X). Inflammation includes occasional plasma cells (UR, 400X, yellow arrowhead at plasma cell), consistent with history of autoimmune hepatitis. Ballooning degeneration is present (LL, 400X). PAS without diastase shows piecemeal necrosis, (LR, 400X). The patient had also had diabetes. | |||
