A tumor of the liver:

Tissue sampling

  • Liver biopsy
  • Autopsy: Further information: Autopsy

Gross examination

Note the following:[1]

  • Whether the tumor is sell demarcated from surrounding tissue
  • Whether there is visible infiltration or invasion into surrounding tissue
  • Any necrosis or bleeding

Microscopic evaluation

A bile duct hamartoma is also very common.[2] This image shows typical features:[3]
- Small to medium sized, irregularly shaped bile ducts lined by bland cuboidal epithelium (may also be flattened).
- Prominent intervening collagenous stroma.
- Bile ducts containing eosinophilic debris (may also contain inspissated bile)

Further information: Evaluation of suspected malignancies
