Figure 1
AIH. This low‐magnification image (hematoxylin‐eosin, ×40) shows expanded portal tracts with effacement of the interface by a lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate including many plasma cells. The connective tissue stain shows early fibrosis and regenerative activity with 2‐cell‐thick liver plates and early nodule formation.
Figure 2
Figure 2
AIH. This medium‐magnification image (hematoxylin‐eosin, ×200) shows a portal tract with an intense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate effacing the interface with rosette formation and hepatocyte necrosis (acidophilic bodies).
Figure 3
Figure 3
AIH. This high‐magnification image (hematoxylin‐eosin, ×400) shows a predominantly lymphocytic portal infiltrate with clusters of plasma cells at the interface.
Figure 4
Figure 4
AIH. This image (hematoxylin‐eosin, ×400) shows rosettes.
Figure 5
Figure 5
AIH. This first‐biopsy image (Masson trichrome, ×200) shows fibrosis with early bridge formation (arrow).
Figure 6
Figure 6
AIH with overlap syndrome. This image (hematoxylin‐eosin, ×200) shows nonsuppurative cholangitis consistent with PBC.
Figure 7
Figure 7
LKM AIH. Similar to Fig. 1, this low‐magnification image (hematoxylin‐eosin, ×20) shows a marked lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate with effacement of the interface.
