Figure 3 Micrographs of a liver biopsy specimen.
A: Fibrosis around the central vein area and the fibrous expansion of the portal region were not detected (Masson staining × 40); B: Swelling of the parenchymal cells and a mild infiltration of inflammatory cells around the central vein area were evident (green arrows). Destruction of the bile duct had not occurred (hematoxylin-eosin staining × 40); C: Bile plugs were found in multiple sites within the hepatocytes and sinusoids (green arrows).
