Mallory's ('alcoholic') hyaline in primary biliary cirrhosis. 1973

R N MacSween

Mallory's (;alcoholic') hyaline has been found in hepatocytes in 18 of 70 patients with primary biliary cirrhosis. These inclusions have previously been noted in only three cases of primary biliary cirrhosis. Current views on the nature of Mallory's hyaline are briefly discussed.

D008105	Liver Cirrhosis, Biliary	FIBROSIS of the hepatic parenchyma due to obstruction of BILE flow (CHOLESTASIS) in the intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts (BILE DUCTS, INTRAHEPATIC; BILE DUCTS, EXTRAHEPATIC). Primary biliary cholangitis involves the destruction of small intra-hepatic bile ducts and decreased bile secretion. Secondary biliary cholangitis is produced by prolonged obstruction of large intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts from a variety of causes.
