Image Description: The portal areas are widened into fibrous septae containing proliferating bile ducts. This develops as a compensatory response to extrahepatic bile duct atresia. |
|
| Structures | Structure Descriptions |
| expanded portal areas | Expanded portal areas with fibrosis are seen at upper left-to-center. While the extrahepatic bile duct is atretic, reactive bile duct proliferation occurs inside the portal areas, accompanied by reactive fibrosis. |
| hepatocytes | The hepatocytes retain their lobular structure, with plates surrounded by sinusoids. |
