图中肝细胞和枯否细胞内充满由肝脏中过多的铁积聚造成的含铁血黄素的褐色粒状沉着。含铁血黄素沉着表示铁的相对良性积聚。当发生器官功能障碍时，则用“血色素沉着症”表示。铁积聚能够导致小结节性肝硬化（也称为“色素性”肝硬化）。
The hepatocytes and Kupffer cells here are full of granular brown deposits of hemosiderin from accumulation of excess iron in the liver. The term "hemosiderosis" is used to denote a relatively benign accumulation of iron. The term "hemochromatosis" is used when organ dysfunction occurs. The iron accumulation may lead to a micronodular cirrhosis (so called "pigment" cirrhosis).
