Abstract
Focal hepatic necrosis is identified as an incidental finding at the time of necropsy. Livers have solitary or multiple small, irregular, light-brown foci that may coalesce (Fig. 179). These foci may be areas in which only the color has changed or may form small depressions in the surface of the liver, depending upon the age of the lesion.
