| Metavir activity index 3 (Piecemeal necrosis 2, Lobular necrosis 2), Metavir fibrosis stage 4.  Hepatitis C genotype 1a. Inflamed bands separate hepatocyte regions distorted by steatosis (UL). Bordering tract and acini (UR) lymphocytes, macrophages, eosinophils, and rare neutrophils (black arrowhead) invest both proliferated bile ducts (yellow arrowheads) and hepatocytes, some showing ballooning degeneration (green arrowhead). Reticulin shows hepatocyte cords often two nuclei thick bounded by directionless sinusoids, consistent with a regenerative nodule (LL). Trichrome shows extensive bridging with a potential flattened nodule; although a debate about the presence or absence of definite fibrosis would have existed, with the Metavir scoring system, this is considered fibrosis stage 4 (LR).

Hepatitis C with metavir stage IV fibrosis (advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis) and confluent piecemeal necrosis.
Inflamed bands cross hepatocytes with steatosis (Row 1 Left 40X). Trichrome shows extensive bridges  (Row 1 Right 40X). Trichrome also documents early nodule formation (Row 2 Left 40X). Reticulin shows regeneration (two nuclei per cord) in a nodule, but not throughout (Row 2 Right 200X). Hematoxylin and eosin shows piecemeal necrosis as inflammatory cells surrounding hepatocytes (Row 3 Left 400X). Reticulin shows black lines about hepatocytes, indicating confluent piecemeal necrosis (Row 3 Right 400X).
