Figure 2 Liver needle biopsy: (A) ×400, hematoxylin-eosin: The portal tracts show the hepatic artery without an accompanying bile duct. There is prominent ductular reaction with neutrophilic infiltrate. The loss of bile ducts is highlighted by trichrome stain (B, ×400) and immunohistochemical stain (C, ×200) for cytokeratin 19 (×200, Clone A53-B/A2.26, Ventana, Roche, Tucson, AZ).

Figure 3 Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography coronal view showing markedly enlarged spleen, measuring 21.5 cm (right) compared with prior imaging 4 months ago (left). The liver appeared normal in size and configuration, there is no intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary ductal dilation, and the gallbladder is absent.
