13. Alcoholic Cirrhosis - Medium Power
At higher magnification, in alcoholic cirrhosis, nodules of
regenerating hepatocytes consist of disordered cords of cells of
irregular thickness, many being two or more cell layers thick. Note
the lack of central veins in these regenerative nodules. The nodules
are surrounded by fibrous tissue containing variable amounts of
chronic inflammatory cells and areas of bile ductular
proliferation.
