This atlas is designed to be a primer for students and residents and for general pathologists in the interpretation of liver biopsy histology. The liver is subjected to a wide range of insults but has a relatively limited repertoire of histopathological changes. Optimal interpretation of liver biopsy specimens requires accurate recognition of the morphological abnormalities and an ability to put these into the appropriate clinical context. We have deliberately not tried to be comprehensive in this atlas but rather sought to cover an approach to the most common forms of liver disease in which biopsy interpretation remains an important part of the diagnostic workup or indeed in prognostication.
