Overview
The paper reports non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in a 55-year-old man who worked for 22 years under a significanttrinitrotoluene risk. The found disease is an example of the fact that non too significant pathological laboratory findings can beaccompanied by a serious histological picture showing not only liver steatosis, with contributing concurrent hyperlipoproteinaemia,but primarily showing marked necrotic-inflammatory changes. A sporadic finding of Mallory’s hyaline does not exclude theparticipation of alcohol, but certainly there are no sings of alcoholic affection.
