Liver biopsy

Liver biopsy

R W Raven. Ann R Coll Surg Engl. 1975 Feb.

Abstract

An account is given of the findings obtained with open liver biopsy in 111 patients with various diseases, including 78 with cholecystitis and colelithiasis where unsuspected liver pathology, including biliary cirrhosis, was found in 37 patients. An exact diagnosis of hepatic metastasis by biopsy has therapeutic importance in malignant diseases, and in some patients, particularly those with argent-affinoma, liver involvement is compatible with normal life for many years.
