Q

What is nodular regenerative hyperplasia?

Disease associations?

Does it cause portal hypertension?

A

Nodules in parenchyma; Trichrome negative; reticulin highlights nodules

Rheumatologic, PV, lymphoma, azathioprine

Yes! Reticulin shows compressed portal between nodules, variable hepatocyte sizes
