Fig. 2 Histopathological study of hepatic iron overload by Perl's staining. (A) A strong cytoplasmic iron overload, visible as blue granules, is clearly shown in hepatocytes. Note the predominant localisation of iron deposits close to the biliary canaliculi (arrow) (original magnification ×400). (B) Major iron deposits are also found in Kupffer cells (arrowhead). In addition, aggregates of non-parenchymal cells (arrow), likely Kupffer cells, which are strongly overloaded, are also found in the hepatic lobule. Dashed arrow: presence of iron in the pericaniliculi area of the hepatocytes (original magnification ×400). (C) Portal space with the presence of iron deposits in cells (arrow), likely macrophages, whereas iron deposits were only slight in endothelial cells (dashed arrow) and not detected in biliary cells (small arrow) (original magnification ×250).
