Histomorphological Spectrum of Hepatic Lesions in Liver Biopsies – A Prospective Hospital Based Study
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Background: Liver is vulnerable to a wide variety of metabolic, toxic, circulatory insults. Microscopic examination of liver biopsy specimen remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of majority of the hepatic diseases. Methods: A one year prospective study was conducted in the Post Graduate Department of Pathology, ASCOMS & Hospital which included 72 liver biopsies. Each case was analysed with respect to age, gender and histological type. Results: Out of the total 72 liver biopsy specimen, 86.11% cases were male, 14.28% were females. 33.33% cases were of hepatic tumors, 30.55% of cirrhosis, 11.11% and 9.72% of viral hepatitis and alcoholic hepatitis respectively. Hydatid cystic disease was seen in 2.7% cases and 5.55% cases showed granulomatous hepatitis. Conclusion: Histomorphological study of liver biopsies help in evaluating the spectrum of various hepatic lesions.
