[Histological and cytological criteria for classification of primary liver cell carcinoma (author's transl)].

Abstract

23 cases of liver cell carcinoma were reclassified according to the WHO classification schema. Appropriate cases could be classified without any difficulty into the trabecular, compact and acinar type groups; there was more difficulty to classify the scirrhous type of carcinoma. Carcinoma composed by clear cells, and inacrocellular eosinophilic carcinoma with lamellar fibrosis have a lower incidence of mitoses than the other carcinoma types. AFP could be demonstrated in tumor tissue by immune histochemistry in one case only; HBs-Ag could never been shown by the aldehyd-thionin method. The ratio mitoses/apoptoses was approx. 2:1.
