Wilson’s disease, pre-cirrhotic. A. Inflamed & relatively unaffected segments. B. Bile ductular proliferation with interface hepatitis [inflammation of periportal hepatocytes]. C. Enlarged hepatocytes, some with feathery degeneration, others with steatosis. Nuclei show nucleoli. D. Trichrome shows periportal & sinusoidal fibrosis.

Wilson’s disease with cirrhosis in a 22 year old woman. A. Nodules show steatosis without definite triads.  B. Trichrome shows minute fibrous bound nodules in this case. C. Reticulin shows extensive regeneration (2-3 nuclei thick cords with lack of direction) with nodule formation. D. Bridge with extensive proliferated bile ductules and acute and chronic inflammatory cells. E. Ballooning degeneration with Mallory bodies.
