Abstract
In Indians, liver disease has been found to be as frequent that it may affect every one out of 5 Indians. As per the World Health Organization, liver disease is the tenth most common cause of death in India and Cirrhosis of the liver being the leader. The diagnosis of lesions in liver is always challenging especially when they are in multiple lesions in locations. Ultrasonography (USG) guided FNAC has been found to further improved the accurate method in obtaining definitive diagnosis especially in focal liver lesions in evaluating various neoplastic lesions, whether primary, metastatic or non‐neoplastic conditions of liver. Even though clinical, radiological and serological investigations help in arriving diagnosis, tissue diagnosis is considered ultimate gold standard and final in the diagnosis and management of these cases. The consent of the patient was before under taking the procedure. During the study period, a total number of 93 cases were studied. Study was performed on admitted and OP and IP patients in whom hepatic mass was confirmed by radiological examination. All cases where lesion/pathology in the liver were suspected cases were taken for study Cytological smears that were opined as moderately differentiated HCC also had many overlapping features of WDHCC. It was found that endothelial rimming or transgressing of cell clusters, eccentric nuclei, multi‐nucleation and macro‐nucleoli were more associated with this type of HCC.
