Abstract
Liver is a site for plethora of disease among which many become symptomatic. However, some are diagnosed only on autopsy examination. Our aim is to correlate gross and histopathological examination of 109 liver autopsy specimens. Method: 109 cases of liver autopsy specimens who died of various causes like poisoning, drowning, road/ railway accidents, burns etc, with no medical history during the period from Jan 2016 to Dec 2016 were taken for the study. Children below one year was not included in the study. Sections from the liver were submitted for processing and then stained with Hematoxylene and Eosin. Results: The most common pathology found in our study was Fatty change 39.5% followed by Normal histology of liver 26.6%, Chronic venous congestion 15.6%, Hepatitis 4.6%, Cirrhosis 2.8%,, Hepatocellular carcinoma 0.9%, Hemangioma 0.9% and 10 cases (9.1%) with marked Autolytic changes. Conclusion: Autopsy examinationof liver is a major tool to identify silent liver diseases such as Fatty change, Chronic venous congestion, Cirrhosis, Hemangioma and Malignant tumors.
