Councilman body
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In pathology, a Councilman body, also known as a Councilman hyaline body or apoptotic body, is an eosinophilic globule of apoptotic hepatocyte cell fragments. Ultimately, the fragments are taken up by macrophages or adjacent parenchymal cells.[1] They are found in the liver of individuals suffering from acute viral hepatitis, yellow fever, and other viral syndromes.[2]
