PREMALIGNANT PATHOMORPHOLOGY OF THE LIVER IN CHRONIC HEPATITIS C: CLINICOPATHOLOGICAL AND IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL CORRELATIONS

Premalignant morphological changes in the liver are mediated by progressive fibrosis, necroinflammatory activity, immune-cell infiltration, and activation of Kupffer cells and hepatic stellate cells [1–4].
