Successful Stem Cell Transplantation in a Patient with Pretransplant Hepatic Inflammatory Pseudotumour

Figure 2

Pseudotumour histology. The H&E images (a, b, c) show a loose proliferation of fibrous tissue, accompanied by a mixed acute and chronic inflammatory infiltrate, showing entrapment of residual bile ducts and hepatic artery branches. The immunohistochemistry (d) test for smooth-muscle actin shows reactivity in spindle cells, consistent with a proliferation of myofibroblasts, as might be seen in reactive fibrosis or an inflammatory pseudotumour.
