Novel mutation in ferroportin 1 gene is associated with autosomal dominant iron overload  Anne-Marie Jouanolle, Véronique Douabin-Gicquel, Chantal Halimi, Olivier Loréal, Patricia Fergelot, Thierry Delacour, Anne-Sophie de Lajarte-Thirouard, Bruno Turlin, Jean-Yves Le Gall, Estelle Cadet, Jacques Rochette, Véronique David, Pierre Brissot  Journal of Hepatology  Volume 39, Issue 2, Pages (August 2003) DOI: /S (03)00148-X

3 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).
