Hepatic lesions resembling alcoholic liver disease.

Abstract

Patients who do not consume alcohol may have hepatic lesions that are characteristic of those of alcoholic liver disease: portal fibrosis, sinusoidal collagen deposition, fatty change, parenchymal neutrophilic exudate, and Mallory body deposition. Here, the author discusses entities that mimic alcoholic liver disease on biopsy and disorders that have morphologic features also seen in alcoholic liver disease.
