Abstract
Liver biopsies are widely used in veterinary and human medicine. Patients will directly benefit from a strong communication chain between clinicians and pathologists. Different sample types offer benefits and caveats that should be considered when sampling is pursued. This article takes aim at liver biopsies from the point-of-view of a practicing veterinary anatomic pathologist with an interest in liver disease. Sampling strategies, common artifacts, the structure of pathology reports, histochemical stains, and immunohistochemistry markers are discussed, and commonly encountered challenges are highlighted.
