PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Studies are reviewed from the past year concerning the histopathology of liver and biliary diseases and their pathogenesis.
RECENT FINDINGS: Several cases of acute hepatitis E showed portal and periportal hepatitis, with polarization of neutrophils to the interface region and lymphocytes more centrally in the portal tracts. Transfection of hepatitis C virus into cultured fetal hepatocytes resulted in sustained growth of 50-90 nm diameter viral particles. The ductular reaction in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis appears to evolve with fibrosis in response to hepatocyte replicative senescence. Hepatocellular release of hepcidin is critical for iron homeostasis in a manner analogous to pancreatic insulin for glucose homeostasis; this 'endocrine' focus was elaborated in an overview of hemochromatosis. Specific microscopic features of liver-cell adenomas combined with genetic analysis for hepatocyte nuclear factor 1alpha and beta-catenin mutations allows differentiation into four variants. Steroid-sensitive biliary strictures resembling primary sclerosing cholangitis but with increased serum immunoglobulin G4 and infiltrating immunoglobulin G4-positive plasma cells ('immunoglobulin associated cholangitis') are part of a spectrum of disorders including autoimmune pancreatitis and inflammatory pseudotumor.
SUMMARY: Pathologic features of viral hepatitis C and E, immunohistochemistry for the ductular reaction and malignant liver tumors and several systemic disorders are among recent important pathology studies.
