A 60-year-old woman was transplanted for end-stage alcoholic cirrhosis. The diagnosis of cirrhosis was made 13 years earlier on the basis of features of portal hypertension and a wedge liver biopsy. Liver function tests were subnormal except for a low prothrombin time. Unproven possible alcohol abuse was the only aetiological factor. Her condition remained unchanged until transplantation, despite complete abstinence. Histological examination of the explant showed incomplete septal cirrhosis associated with distal obstructive portal venopathy, cirrhotic nodules predominantly in the subcapsular areas and nodular regenerative hyperplasia with septal fibrosis elsewhere. In addition, there were areas of large and small liver cell dysplasia. This observation shows the difficulty in making a diagnosis of incomplete septal cirrhosis and the hypothetical link between liver cell dysplasia (which has never been reported in incomplete septal cirrhosis but is well known to be associated with hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhosis) and rare cases of liver adenomas and carcinomas reported in patients presenting with liver vascular disorders.
