Poonam Sharma, Kuldeep Singh

Abstract :

Aim/Objectives: To determine the prevalence and spectrum of various pathological lesions encountered in autopsy specimens of liver. Material and Methods: This retrospective study was carried out in the Department of Pathology over a period of one year. Autopsy specimens preserved in formalin were examined and microscopic findings were recorded in detail. Results: Majority of patients were males. Autolysed tissue was seen in 2.5% cases. The most common pathology found in our study was Chronic venous congestion (34.6%) followed by steatosis (24.4%) and cirrhosis (12.8%). Portal Triaditis and Hepatitis were seen in 11.5% and 7.2% cases respectively. No obvious pathology was seen in 7.7% cases. Conclusions: Histopathology examination of liver tissue is helpful in evaluation of underlying disease pathology, especially silent diseases such as Steatosis, Cirrhosis, Hemangioma and Malignant tumours.
