Overview
The gold standard method for diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma is excision biopsy of liver lesions either by surgery or laparoscopically. Percutaneous biopsy is not recommended due to the risk of bleeding and tumor dissemination. Other tests that can be used to differentiate between benign and carcinomatous lesions include; QBend10 and erbB2 immunostaining, comparative genomic insitu hybridization and flourescence insitu hybridization.

- The gold standard test for diagnosis of hepatocellular adenoma is excision biopsy of liver lesions either by surgery or laparoscopically.
- The microscopic differentiation between benign hepatic adenomas and hepatocellular carcinomas can be difficult, even with tumor tissue.
- Other diagnostic tests that can be used to differentiate benign and carcinomatous lesions include; QBend10 and erbB2 immunostaining, comparative genomic insitu hybridization and flourescence insitu hybridization.
- The percutaneous biopsy of hepatic lesions is not recommended due to the risk of bleeding and tumor dissemination.
