(A) Hematoxylin and eosin stain of liver biopsy obtained on the seventh postoperative day. Cholangitis with intraductular macrophage and endotheliitis on a background of predominantly lymphocytic portal hepatitis are shown. (B) Hematoxylin and eosin stain of liver biopsy obtained on forty‐second postoperative week. In addition to lymphocytic portal hepatitis, arteriolar and venular inflammation is shown with arteriolar fibrosis and intraluminal foam cell changes. Bile ducts are absent.
