Ground-glass-like hepatocellular inclusions in the course of adult-onset Still's disease.
Ground-glass hepatocytes are the cardinal biopsy feature of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and may also be present in other specific conditions, including Lafora's disease, cyanamide aversion therapy for alcohol use, patients with transplantation, uremia, and metabolic disorders. In this report, we present the case of a patient with adult-onset Still's disease who underwent percutaneous liver biopsy, which revealed ground-glass-like cytoplasmic inclusions and which is a very unusual finding.
