Semin Diagn Pathol. 2006 Aug-Nov;23(3-4):161-9. doi: 10.1053/j.semdp.2006.11.003.

Abstract

Granulomatous diseases of the liver span a huge range of infectious, drug-related, and immunologic disorders. Familiarity with the different types of granulomas as well as how they present in different diseases can be helpful in narrowing the pathologic differential diagnosis. This review surveys both common and unusual granulomatous diseases with emphasis on practical diagnosis.
