The presence of particular cells, discussed in literature as disintegrated parenchymal hepatic cells makes impression during a cytological study. We examined 21 patients with chronic active hepatitis. They had the above described cells found in the bile sediment by means of light microscope. The sediments were studied with electronic microscope as well. Ultrastructural proofs of the fact that these cells originate from hepatic parenchyma were found in 3 of the cases. The most important evidences are: the structure of the granular endoplasmic riticulum and of the mitochondria, as well as the precipitation of microcorpuscles.
