11. Alcoholic Cirrhosis - Gross
This liver, in a case of alcoholic cirrhosis, contains numerous,
fairly uniform in size, small nodules of regenerative hepatocytes
separated by depressed areas of fibrous scar tissue. This morphologic
pattern is sometimes referred to as micronodular cirrhosis. Other
than chronic viral hepatitis and chronic alcoholic liver disease,
what are some other causes of cirrhosis of the liver?
