Abstract excerpt
Cytokeratin (CK) patterns and albumin messenger RNA (mRNA) are investigated in 24 patients with benign hepatic lesions (7 patients with focal nodular hyperplasia [FNH], 10 with hepatocellular adenomas [HA], 1 with biliary hamartoma, 4 with biliary cysts, 2 with cystadenomas) and in 8 patients with cystadenocarcinoma, a rare liver malignancy. The lesions and surrounding tissue of the hepatocytic components...
