Hepatocytes infiltrated with neutrophils and maybe bacteria indicate

Neutrophilic bacterial hepatitis
You see clustered hepatocytes with macrophages. This indicates
Chronic hepatitis

You note round cells in the liver. What does this indicate
Neoplastic metastasis to liver
Your liver sample has hepatocytes with fine, vacuolar appearance. What does this suggest

Glucocoritcoid hepatopathy (glycogen granules dissolved by fixation)
You seen black pigment arund hepatocytes. What does this suggest

Cholestasis
You notice intra and inter-hepatic vacuoles. What does this indicate
