✦ Synopsis

The results of various diagnostic procedures performed on six cases with solitary and minimal (less than 2 cm) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that was later surgically resected were comparatively reviewed. The tumor was detected in 6/6 patients by ultrasonography, 1/6 by scintigraphy, 2/6 by CT, and 4/6 by angiography, and hepatocellular carcinoma was diagnosed in 3/6 by angiography and 6/6 by ultrasonically guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy. Since there are not a few HCCs that can be detected only by ultrasonography, fine-needle aspiration biopsy with ultrasound guidance is strongly recommended to confirm cases with a minimal lesion in the liver visualized only on a sonogram.

From 1970 to June 1984, 275 patients with bronchioloalveolar carcinoma were admitted to the Toronto General Hospital. Of these, 181 (190 aspiration biopsies, including nine repeat samples) had this diagnosis made following the use of transthoracic fine-needle aspiration biopsy. Based on the cytomorp
