Granulomatous reaction in hepatic inflammatory angiomyolipoma after chemoembolization and spontaneous rupture

Figure 3 Histopathological features of the background liver. A: Bridging fibrosis was not observed (HE, × 40); B: Many epithelioid granulomas were observed in portal tracts in the surrounding background liver (HE, × 100); C: Granulomas were also observed in the intima of some hepatic arteries (HE, × 100); D: Inflammatory granulation tissue containing hemosiderin-laden macrophages and old blood coagula which were consistent with a previous rupture and hemorrhage were observed adjacent to the nodule (HE, × 100).
