Percutaneous histopathologic evaluation of liver in treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

S Yoshimatsu. Bull Tokyo Med Dent Univ. 1988 Sep.

Abstract

The results of 25 percutaneous biopsies of the liver from 24 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are reported. In all cases, the value of their serum biochemistry (LDH, GOT, GPT and/or alkaline phosphatase) was abnormal and sufficient tissue material was biopsied to obtain a histopathological evaluation. Specimens from five ultrasonically suspected lymphoma of the liver showed tumor involvement histopathologically. Diffuse tumor involvement was also histologically found in three ultrasonically unsuspected livers. Six liver specimens showed degenerative and/or fibrotic change in the new and previously treated patients.
