[Ultrastructure of osteoid islets in mixed-type hepatoblastoma]. 1983

M A Shabanov

Composite morphological studies established that "osteoid" may consist of various portions of finely granular nonparticular basic substance and fibrous structures resembling collagen fibers and randomly interwoven in different directions. This substance was found to be synthesized by myoepithelial-like cells contacting by desmosomes and desmosome-like contacts and having in their cytoplasm abundant bundles of microfibrils, developed granular endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi zones. The regularities of histotopographic location of such islets suggest that polygonal cells of forming bile ducts subject to cataplasia participate in the synthesis of intercellular "osteoid-like" substance. The similarity between hepatoblastoma of the mixed type and pleomorphic adenoma of the salivary gland is indicated.

D008297	Male		Males
D008854	Microscopy, Electron	Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen.	Electron Microscopy
D006528	Carcinoma, Hepatocellular	A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.
