Light micrograph of a section of liver from a patient with classic HFE-linked hemochromatosis (hemochromatosis type 1). There is accumulation of hemosiderin granules within hepatocytes in lysosomal location. The iron storage shows a gradient from portal to central zones. With progressive iron deposition, there is portal fibrosis with expansion of portal tracts, ultimately resulting in diffuse micronodular cirrhosis. | |
