MHN and SMHN are observed in two patients with acute liver failure associated with HBV infection.

Caption

Compared with SMHN, the liver damaged by MHN demonstrates more severe inflammatory cell infiltration, resulting in more extensive ductular reaction highlighted by immunohistochemical staining for CK7 (CK7 antibody, DAKO, M7018; stained by DAKO EnVision kit). CK, cytokeratin; HBV, hepatitis B virus; MHN, massive hepatic necrosis; SMHN, submassive hepatic necrosis.
