Histopathological evaluation of recurrent hepatitis C after liver transplantation: A review

Figure 4 Histopathological appearance of recurrent hepatitis C (left) and acute cellular rejection (right). Portal inflammation is commonly mild in recurrent hepatitis C (A), with a predominant lympho-monocytic infiltrate and mild bile duct invasion (B), while in acute cellular rejection there is a mixed and more pronounced inflammatory infiltrate (E), with evident bile duct invasion (F). Endothelialitis can be found in both conditions (C, G). Lobular necrosis is more typical of recurrent hepatitis C (D); in acute cellular rejection hemorrhage and sinusoid dilatation are more evident (H).
