Figure 2 | Histopathology of NAFLD showing areas of macrosteatosis and microsteatosis. A haematoxylin and eosin-stained tissue sample from a human showing hepatocytes exhibiting microvesicular (arrowheads) and macrovesicular (arrows) steatosis. Hepatocytes with microvesicular steatosis have abnormal accumulation of lipid with preserved cellular architecture, including a non-displaced nucleus, whereas hepatocytes with macrovesicular steatosis have one large droplet that displaces the nucleus.
