Fig 1 Case 1. A, Liver biopsy specimen showing features of both sarcoidosis and primary biliary cirrhosis. Multiple coalescent nonnecrotizing epithelioid granulomas are seen replacing portal area. Giant cells are easily identified and granulomas are well circumscribed. B. Separate core biopsy specimen from that shown in A demonstrates portal areas without ducts. There is mild infiltrate of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and eosinophils, and prominent cholate stasis changes in periportal hepatocytes. No bile duct is seen.
