This sign may stem from diverse pathophysiologic mechanisms, including dilated hepatic sinusoids (in heart failure), persistently high venous pressure leading to liver congestion (in chronic constrictive pericarditis), dysfunction and engorgement of hepatocytes (in hepatitis), fatty infiltration of parenchymal cells causing fibrous tissue (in cirrhosis), distention of liver cells with glycogen (in diabetes), and infiltration of amyloid (in amyloidosis).
Such localizations were especially prominent at the linings of hepatic sinusoids (Figure 4A), red pulps of spleen (Figure 4B), renal vessels, and glomerular vasculature in the kidneys (Figure 4C and D).
