Abstract

Histomorphological study of primary and metastatic malignant tumours of liver was undertaken during the period of January 1993 to December 2002.

Primary malignant epithelial tumours were hepatocellular carcinoma (79.2%); cholangiocarcinoma (4.8%) and hepatoblastoma (0.8%). Hepatocellular carcinoma formed 79.2% of malignant liver tumours. They formed 0.19% of the surgical specimens; 45.21% of liver biopsies and 11.42% of the malignant lesions at different sites detected during the same period.
