Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is a useful tool for diagnosis of primary malignancies and metastatic lesions of the liver. However, well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may resemble benign/reactive hepatocytes, and less differentiated HCC may simulate poorly differentiated adeno
## BACKGROUND. Diagnosing liver tumors by fine-needle aspiration biopsy is safe and accurate. However, there are cases that prove diagnostically difficult. Traditionally, immunostains for โฃ-fetoprotein and polyclonal carcinoembryonic antigen have been used to distinguish adenocarcinomas from hepat
