Biliary cirrhosis in CF. Panel A External view of the liver demonstrates coarse, hobnail-like lobulation due to extensive scarring. The tip of the spared, normal caudate lobe extends beyond the inferior margin (arrow). Panel B Photomicrograph (original magnification, X20; H-E stain) of a specimen from the periportal region shows extensive fibrosis, acute and chronic inflammatory changes, and eosinophilic inspissated bile (arrows) within the biliary radicles. The hepatocytes (upper left) are pale and foamy. (Courtesy of Eduardo Rucelli, MD, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Pa.).
