Post mortem evaluation of the liver has been very useful in reaching the diagnosis of patient cause of death. Autopsy studies provide us with useful baseline data to start a step towards finding cause of death. The study was conducted in the department of Pathology, M.G.M Medical College, Indore (M.P) from 2013 to 2017. Liver specimens were collected from 127 cases of post mortum as a part of examination of multiple viscera, over a period of 4 years.

It is observed that 127 cases were evaluated out of which 85 (66.93%) were males and 42 (33.07%) were females. Out of 127 specimens, 31(24.40%) are cases of normal liver morphology followed by chronic venous congestion 41 (32.28%) cases, fatty change 26 (20.47%) cases,, steatohepatitis hepatitis 18 (14.5%) cases, cirrhosis 10 (7.87%) cases, Metastasis in 01 (0.78%)case.
