“…The giant cells often contain 4 to 20 centrally allocated nuclei [1] (Figures 1(a) and 1(b)). In cases of HAV, Paramyxo virus, EBV, few autoimmune related cases, and hypereosinophilia related and post transplant HPV-6 related cases show giant cell predominance in periportal periseptal areas with muliti-acinar necrosis and increased inflammation [1, 3, 23–26, 32–35, 38–42]. Cases showed some degree of periportal fibrosis to severe fibrosis [1, 2, 5, 7, 29].…”

“…Cases showed some degree of periportal fibrosis to severe fibrosis [1, 2, 5, 7, 29]. Progression to rapid onset of cirrhosis was evident in the biopsy specimens in cases particularly with autoimmune diseases [24–27, 30, 32–37, 39, 45, 46], and submassive to massive necrosis of liver parenchyma were seen in cases with HAV, paramyxo virus infection, those with positive EBV serology, hypereosinophilia, and post transplant recurrence of PIGCH [1, 3, 24–26, 32–35, 38–41]. …”

Giant cell hepatitis is common manifestation in pediatric liver diseases, but quite uncommon in adults, only about 100 cases reported in the English literature in the last two decades. Data for the present review were identified by a structured PubMed/MEDLINE search from 1963 to December 2012, using keywords postinfantile giant cell hepatitis (PIGCH), adult giant cell hepatitis, and syncytial giant cell hepatitis in adults and liver. We report a case of postinfantile giant cell hepatitis along with the review related to the etiology and respective outcome, as the literature in the last 20 years suggests. This condition is probably due to idiosyncratic or cytopathic response of individual to various hepatocytic stimuli. It is purely a histomorphological diagnosis and does not establish the etiology. Autoimmune liver diseases are most common etiology, in around 40% of cases, but various viruses, drugs, posttransplant condition, and other causes also have been reported. Prognosis depends upon the etiology. In this paper, we emphasized various causative factors of PIGCH and their respective outcome in patients affected by them. We also highlighted the possible pathogenesis and histopathological spectrum of this entity on the basis of description given in various studies and our limited experience of few cases.
