Abstract

Histologic features of hepatocellular carcinoma were studied in autopsy cases of 84 patients, in relation to complication of liver cirrhosis and presence or absence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.<BR>Hepatocellular carcinoma was well divided histologically according to their pure morphological patterns, into two major categories: Common (trabecular or trabeculotubular) type and special type.<BR>The presence or absence of infection of HBV was examined by orcein or other stains for hepatitis B surface antigen in tissue sections.<BR>As a result, 72 (86%) cases revealed common type and 12 (14%) cases special type; 24 (29%)cases showed HBV-positivity; the incidence of HBV-positivity of common type was 32%, while that of special type 8%.<BR>Characteristically, almost all carcinomas associated with HBV-positivity, except for one case, revealed common type. All carcinomas with special type but without cirrhosis were HBV-negative. HBV might be rather related to common type hepatocellular carcinoma than special type.
