The review presents literature data on the main pathomorphological features of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and the findings of light and electron microscopy in the form of photographs and descriptions of different variants of hepatic morphological changes in patients with AIH. Updates to the sections of the AIH classification concerning the etiology and origin of AIH are suggested, clinical examples are given with a description of the morphology features according to the classification specified by the authors.
