Portal ceroid-laden macrophages mean necrosis of hepatocytes at the interface of portal tracts. The necrosis may be induced by the inflammation including interface hepatitis. Macrophages phagocyte the necrotic hepatocytes, then they have abundant brownish cytoplasm, which is called ceroid-laden feature.

Some monocytes enter the tissues and mature into phagocytic cells called?
macrophages.
How does macrophages fight disease?
macrophages engulf, or eat , any microorganisms or viruses that enter your body
Which white blood cells turn into macrophages in tissue?
Monocytes are white blood cells that can migrate from the bloodstream into tissues where they differentiate into macrophages. Once in the tissue, monocytes mature into tissue-resident macrophages and play a crucial role in immune responses, inflammation, and tissue repair.
Why would you not expect to see tissue macrophages in a blood smear?
Tissue macrophages reside in the tissues, not the blood. Tissue macrophages can't be seen because, macrophages as well as neutrophils are the only transient residents of the bloodstream, and more out of the circulation and into the tissues relatively quickly (within a few hours).
Where are macrophages located?
lungs
