Hepatitis B virus. Metavir activity index 3 {PMN 2 LN 2]. Metavir fibrosis stage 4 (advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis). A. A fragmented specimen shows apparent nodules [black arrows]. B. Inflammatory cells extending from band suggest piecemeal necrosis [green arrows]; inflammatory foci apart from band denote spotty necrosis [blue arrows]. C. Reticulin stain shows piecemeal necrosis as black lines about hepatocyte clusters at band [blue arrows], regeneration as more than one cell thick cords [green arrows] and hepatocyte rosettes [magenta arrows]. D. On PAS without diastase, piecemeal necrosis can be seen as pink hepatocyte cytoplasmic fragments amid inflammatory cells [arrows]. E. The nodules seen at low power are confirmed to be collagen bounded, but the appreciation can be made frustrated by intense inflammation. F. Examination elsewhere shows a definite nodule pair amid fibrosis [green arrows]; note on the right the fibrous band extending from the portal triad [black arrow] with sinusoids being far more often perpendicular to the triad than they were in the regenerative nodules to the surrounding bands. | Hepatitis B virus.
