Explain of Hepatic Pathology

26.Hemochromatosis of liver, gross

The dark brown color of the liver, as well as the pancreas (bottom center) and lymph nodes (bottom right) on sectioning is due to extensive iron deposition in a middle-aged man with hereditary hemochromatosis. About 1 in 10 persons of European ancestry carries the recessive gene for this disorder, but only about 3 to 5 persons per 1000 are affected.
