Abstract

Granulomas that consist of focal accumulations of macrophages are commonly found in the liver due to stimulation of the immune system by a number of agents. Manifestations are variable depending on whether the underlying cause is a systemic disease or a primary hepatic granulomatous reaction. This article describes the common causes, presentation, histopathology, and manifestations of granulomatous diseases as well as various diagnostic and management strategies.
