Tomodensitometry 10 years after the initial infection without (A) and with (B) intravenous contrast, revealing diffuse hepatic calcifications. Corresponding histology from liver biopsy showing the focus of calcification surrounded by a fine rim of fibrosis (C). Note the absence of portal inflammation and fibrosis (D). Haematoxylin-eosin stain, ×180 (C), ×250 (D) .
