A mixed hamartoma of the liver: light and electron microscopy. 1978

R H Rhodes, and M B Marchildon, and D C Luebke, and H A Edmondson, and V G Mikity

The gross, microscopic, and ultrastructural features of a mixed liver hamartoma occurring in a three month old infant are reported. The differentiation from two solid liver masses, focal nodular hyperplasia and liver cell adenoma is emphasized. Mesenchymal hamartomas, though usually cystic rather than solid masses, share the histologic feature of fibroductular tissue with mixed liver hamartomas and focal nodular hyperplasia. Only the mixed liver hamartoma has extremely broad fields of ductules and an embryonic type of hepatocyte at the ultrastructural level. These and other hepatic lesions show morphologic evidence of transformation of liver cells into biliary epithelial cells in association with vascular connective tissue.

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
