©2013 UpToDate ® Print Email Acidophilic bodies (apoptotic hepatocytes) This specimen shows two acidophilic bodies (dying liver cells) that should not be confused with Mallory bodies. One is in the vacuole of a Kupffer cell and the other contains a shrunken pyknotic nucleus. Note that the whole hepatocyte is shrunken. This patient had acute hepatitis B. Courtesy of Marshall M.
