Mild lymphoplasmacytic portal inflammation is usually, but not always, seen
during the early phases of chronic rejection. Before the bile ducts are
destroyed, severe bile duct damage is evident. It is characterized by
eosinophilic transformation of the cytoplasmic and irregular nuclear
spacing(arrow). Subendothelial infiltration of the portal vein(PV) is not
a typical feature of chronic rejection.
