IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY IN THE DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF THE LIVER MASSES

Abstract

Liver is an organ which can harbour a wide variety of masses neoplastic and nonneoplastic; benign and malignant; primary and metastatic. Tru-cut biopsy is a frequently performed sampling method for diagnosis of liver masses. We evaluated our diagnostic approach to this kind of biopsies by reviewing our three month-tru-cut biopsy experience.
