Focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver with alcoholic hyalin bodies and cytologic atypia

W J Wetzel et al. Cancer. 1979 Oct.

Abstract

Focal nodular hyperplasia is an uncommon hepatic lesion in which the component hepatocytes are usually histologically normal. A case of focal nodular hyperplasia with cytologically atypical hepatocytes is presented. Light and electron microscopic evidence is given for the presence of alcoholic hyalin in these cells. A review of cytologic changes reported in focal nodular hyperplasia by others is included. To our knowledge, the presence of alcoholic hyalin in focal nodular hyperplasia has not previously been reported.
