Abstract:

In this era of tumour marker AgNOR stain has still retained the diagnostic yield in honour pathology. This study was conducted to evaluate the role of AgNOR number and morphological features in cirrhotic and carcinomatous liver. A total of one hundred liver biopsy specimens were included, twenty cases were of hepatocellular carcinoma and sixty were those of cirrhosis of the liver and twenty cases with normal histology as control. The mean AgNOR count, size and distribution were significantly of higher grade in hepatocellular carcinoma as compared to cirrhosis of liver.
