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).

Hepatitis C virus. Metavir activity index 3 (PMN 2, LN 2). Metavir stage 4 (cirrhosis, definite by old criteria).

Fragmentation raises the suspicion of cirrhosis, especially given absent triads, and an inflamed band [green arrow]; nodules [black arrow] are visible (Row 1 Left 20X). Trichrome stain shows fibrosis about the nodules, whose interface will be examined in remaining images (Row 1 Right 100X). Chronic inflammation shows interface hepatitis [green arrow] as well as surrounding of hepatocytes [blue arrows] for piecemeal necrosis; a necrotic hepatocyte demarcates lobular necrosis [black arrow] (Row 2 Left 200X). Reticulin shows regeneration via two nucleus thick cords [green arrows], but also by rosettes [blue arrows] and, most definite, by overall lack of direction to black lines, going different ways with respect to the edge of the fibrotic, inflamed band [black arrows]; black lines surrounding hepatocytes/hepatocyte groups [black arrows] document continuous piecemeal necrosis (Row 2 Right 200X). PAS without diastase stain on core biopsies can make piecemeal necrosis more obvious than on reticulin by showing stroma bounded red hepatocyte cytoplasm of cells [arrows] (Row 3 Left 200X). PAS with diastase has pink lines to use to evaluate the sinusoidal structure, similar to reticulin, but not as good; note spotty necrosis [black arrow] and proliferated bile ductules [red arrows] (Row 3 Right 200X).
