Multiple liver cell adenomas . COMMENT(#49 & #50): Good examples of multiple adenomas; areas of infarction/hemorrhage often found (remember microscopic characteristics).
Multiple liver cell adenomas. COMMENT(#49 & #50): Good examples of multiple adenomas; areas of infarction/hemorrhage often found (remember microscopic characteristics).
Malignant melanoma metastatic to liver and spleen (no number). COMMENT (#60-64): Metastatic tumors in liver characteristically have central necrosis (umbilicated appearance through the capsule) due to outgrowth of blood/nutrient supply--other than this, variations in appearance may reflect origin of tumor i.e., the melanoma is represented by both pigmented and non-pigmented (amelanotic) metastases; choriocarcinoma typically is hemorrhagic. The cholelithiasis in #64 is unrelated to metastatic tumor)
Multiple infarction of liver--ischemic heart disease. Comment: Multifocal areas of infarction are present--easiest to see are white, sharply demarcated, with irregular borders.
Metastatic choriocarcinoma to liver from testis. COMMENT (#60-64): Metastatic tumors in liver characteristically have central necrosis (umbilicated appearance through the capsule) due to outgrowth of blood/nutrient supply--other than this, variations in appearance may reflect origin of tumor i.e., the melanoma is represented by both pigmented and non-pigmented (amelanotic) metastases; choriocarcinoma typically is hemorrhagic. The cholelithiasis in #64 is unrelated to metastatic tumor)
Nodular hyperplasia of liver. COMMENT: #46 and #48 have well developed scars in the presence of nodular liver tissue, these being the gross characteristics of this lesion (review microscopic characteristics).
Severe fatty metamorphosis of liver (No number). Comment on L-10 through L-12: Livers are pale, enlarged with ""rolled"" edges--one specimen (L-12) has been stained with Oil Red O to demonstrate the fat present in the tissue.
Marked fatty change of liver (alcoholism). Comment on L-10 through L-12: Livers are pale, enlarged with ""rolled"" edges--one specimen (L-12) has been stained with Oil Red O to demonstrate the fat present in the tissue.
Fatty liver of alcoholism . Comment on L-10 through L-12: Livers are pale, enlarged with ""rolled"" edges--one specimen (L-12) has been stained with Oil Red O to demonstrate the fat present in the tissue.
Polyarteritis nodosa with liver and kidney infarcts. Comment: Almost entire left lobe is infarcted--arrow points to thrombosed hepatic artery branch; many arteries (arrows) near the corticomedullary junctions of kidney (probably arcuate arteries) have abnormally thick walls and are thrombosed--infarcts can be seen (arrows).
Cirrhosis of liver in cystic fibrosis. COMMENT (#40-#41): Although a finely nodular biliary cirrhosis is described, one can also see a coarsely nodular (macronodular) pattern in the livers of longstanding cystic fibrosis.
