This article examines liver neoplasms and pre-malignant lesions of the liver. In North America, most malignant liver lesions are metastases.

This article focuses on primary malignancies of the liver, neoplastic liver lesions, and biliary malignancies. It only briefly discusses metastatic lesions. An introduction to liver pathology is in the liver article. Medical liver disease is dealt with in the medical liver disease article.

Overview

Dysplasic lesions of the liver

Types:[1]

  • "Large cell dysplasia" (AKA large cell change) - not considered a precursor for HCC, not considered a dysplasia.[2]
  • Small liver cell dysplasia (AKA small cell dysplasia).
  • Low grade dysplasia.
  • High grade dysplasia.

Neoplastic lesions

Malignant lesions of the liver

  • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) - most common malignant liver primary in adults.
  • Hepatoblastoma - malignant liver primary in children.
  • Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).[3]
  • Combined hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CHC).

Lesions that arise in a non-cirrhotic liver

Dysplasia of the liver

Small liver cell dysplasia

  • Abbreviated SLCD.
  • AKA small cell dysplasia.

General

  • Considered a precursor to HCC.
    • Frequently found in livers with HCC - when compared to livers without HCC.[6]

Microscopic

Features:[7]

  • Cells similar in size to normal hepatocytes.
    • Name derived from the fact that there is also an entity that was called large cell dysplasia (AKA large cell change).
  • Increased NC ratio - "more blue".
  • Mild nuclear and cytoplasmic hyperchromatism.

Notes:

  • Normal hepatic architecture (main differentiator from HCC).
  • Remember "... blue is bad".

Micrograph:

Low grade dysplasia

Microscopy

  • Uniform cells - "noticeably different from normal".[8]
    • Changes in nuclear size, irregular nuclear contour and/or changes in cytoplasm staining.
  • Loss of portal tracts.
  • Irregular margin.

Notes:

  • DCHH describes LGD as: "normal hepatocytes in plates [of normal thickness]".[4]

DDx:

High grade dysplasia

  • "Bader" version of low grade dyplasia.

Features - in addition to those of low grade dysplasia:[4]

  • Liver plate >2 cells thick.
  • Significant nuclear atypia.
  • Basophilic cytoplasm.

Micrograph:

Benign hepatic neoplasms

Bile duct adenoma

Should not be confused with bile duct hamartoma.

General

  • Benign.
  • Important as it can be misdiagnosed as cancer.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Disordered bile ducts within in a fibrotic stroma.
    • No (yellow) bile within, as these lesions do not have a connection to the biliary tree.
    • +/-Lymphocytic cuff.

Negatives:

  • No mitotic activity.
  • No necrosis.

DDx:

Image:

Hepatic adenoma

  • AKA hepatocellular adenoma, abbreviated HCA.

General

  • Grow under the influence of sex hormones.
    • Associated with oral contraceptive pill (OCP) use[9][10] - may regress with discontinuation.
    • May rupture in pregnancy.
  • Usually diagnosed by radiology.

Gross

Features:[11]

  • Often subcapsular location.
  • Well circumscribed, but not encapsulated.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Sheets or cords of cells with mild variation of cell and nuclear size.[12]
  • Cords of cells upto 3 cells thick.[13]
  • Cells may have cytoplasmic clearing due to glycogen or be pale - obvious if seen.
  • Vascular - large arteries, dilated thin-walled veins.

Negatives:

  • No bile ducts.
  • No portal tracts.
  • No cirrhosis! If cirrhosis is present it isn't a hepatic adenoma - important.

Images:

DDx:

Subclassification

Based on molecular changes:[15][16]

  1. Inflammatory hepatic adenoma.
  2. Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha-mutated hepatic adenoma.
    • Inactivating mutation.
  3. Beta-catenin-mutated hepatic adenoma
    • Activating mutation.
  4. Unclassified hepatic adenoma.

Note:

  • Beta-catenin is considered an oncogene.

IHC

  • AFP -ve. (???)
  • HNF1alpha +ve/-ve.
  • Beta-catenin +ve/-ve.

Hepatobiliary mucinous cystadenoma

  • AKA biliary cystadenoma.

General

  • Benign neoplasm.
    • May transform into a malignancy.[17]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Cystic spaces lined by a mucinous epithelium (simple columnar epithelium with a clear cytoplasm).

Note:

Malignant hepatic neoplasms

In North America, the most common malignant liver tumour is metastases.

Hepatoblastoma

General

  • Most common liver cancer in children.[12][18]
    • Rare in adolescents and adults.
    • Age of diagnosis usu. ~1 year old; most less than 3 years old.
  • Surgical biopsy; core needle biopsy not done as as lesion is vascular.

Associations:

Clinical:

  • Usually present with hepatomegaly.
  • High AFP.[20]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Small round cell tumour.
  • Fetal hepatocytes ~ 1:3 NC ratio, eosinophilic cytoplasm.
  • +/-Mesenchymal component
    • Immature fibrous tissue, osteoid or cartilage.

DDx:

Images:

Subtypes

  • Six histologic subtypes - that are subdivided into two groups:[21]
    • Epithelial type:
      1. Fetal pattern.
      2. Embryonal and fetal pattern.
      3. Macrotrabecular pattern.
      4. Small cell undifferentiated pattern.
        • Poor prognosis.
    • Mixed epithelial and mesenchymal type:
      1. With teratoid features.
      2. Without teratoid features.

IHC

  • Alpha-fetoprotein +ve.
  • Hepatocyte specific antigen +ve esp. in fetal component.[23]
  • Beta-catenin +ve (cytoplasmic and nuclear).[23]

Hepatocellular carcinoma

  • Commonly abbreviated HCC.

General

Clinical:

  • Serum AFP elevated - in approx. 50% of patients.[24]
  • Treatments: RFA (radiofrequency ablation), ethanol ablation, liver resection, liver transplant.[25]
  • Mean survival at time of diagnosis ~6 months.[25]

Epidemiology:

  • Highest where prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is high.[26]
  • HCC generally arises in the setting of cirrhosis.
    • Cirrhosis may be regressed and therefore not appreciated.

HCCs without cirrhosis:

  • Hepatitis B virus.[26]
  • Hemochromatosis.
  • Fibrolamellar HCC.

Risk factors:[26][27]

Gross

Features:[28]

  • Unifocal, multifocal or diffusely infiltrative.
    • Tumours are multifocal in approx. 50% of cases;[29][30] some authors have suggested it is upto 75% of cases.[25]
  • Pale in relation to surrounding liver or green (due to bile secretion).

Microscopic

Requirements:[31]

  • Architectural changes.
    • Liver plate more than 3 cells thick - key feature.
    • Loss of reticulin scaffold - incomplete loss is considered significant.
    • CD34+ staining cells, suggesting loss of epithelial cells that form the sinusoids.
    • Loss of structures seen in a normal liver lobule (bile ductules, portal triad).
    • Invasion of the portal tract - useful in well-diff. lesions.[32]

Additional findings:[33]

  • Nuclear changes.
    • Increased NC ratio - key feature if present.
    • Nuclear hyperchromasia.
    • Abnormal nuclear contour.
    • Mitoses.
  • Cytoplasmic changes.
    • Cytoplasmic hyperchromasia, clearing or lighter staining.

Varied architecture - may be:[34]

  • Pseudoglandular - can be confused with adenocarcinoma.
  • Trabecular.
  • Fibrolamellar.
  • Solid.

Notes:

  • HCC with trabecular morphology has some resemblance to normal liver - but has extra cells.
  • Fibrolamellar - better prognosis, classically in young adults.
  • Stroma is usually scant.[35]

ASIDE:

Images:

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma

  • Abbreviated fibrolamellar HCC, FL-HCC, and FHCC.
General
  • Rare variant.
  • Classically afflicts younger patients.
    • Mean age at onset ~27 years in one study.[36]
  • Individuals usually do not have the classic risk factors for HCC, i.e. no cirrhosis, no hepatitis.[36]

Clinical:

  • AFP usu. not elevated.[36]
Microscopic

Features:[37]

  • Large polygonal tumours cells with:
    • Graunular eosinophilic cytoplasm.
    • Low NC ratio.[38]
  • Layered dense collagen bundles.

DDx:

Note:

  • If conventional HCC is seen focally within the tumour, it is conventional HCC.

Images:

Sclerosing HCC

Features:

  • Fibrosis. (???)

Notes:

  • Seen in non-cirrhotic livers.

Grading

Edmondson-Steiner grading system:[39][40]

  • Well-differentiated.
    • Some say "it cannot be diagnosed on biopsy,"[41] as it cannot be reliably differentiated from a regenerative nodule.
  • Moderately differentiated.
    • Round, regular nuclei, some hyperchromatism, nucleoli present, increase NC ratio.
  • Poor differentiated.
    • Very prominent nucleoli, pronounced nuclear irregularity.
  • Undifferentiated.
    • Anaplastic giant cells.

Simplified description - based on MacSween:[40]

  • Well-differentiated = cytologically near normal.
  • Moderate = looks like a cancer, small nucleoli.
  • Poor = bad cancer, raisin-like (irregular) nuclear membrane, large nucleoli (~1/3 of nucleus).
  • Undifferentiated = death on a slide, huge cells (3-4x the size of other cells).

IHC

  • CD34 +ve sinusoids; sinusoids in normal liver are CD34 -ve.
  • HepPar-1 +ve; may be neg. in high grade tumours.
  • AFP +ve; may be neg. even if the serum AFP is elevated.
  • CK8/18 +ve.[42]
  • Glypican-3 +ve (cytoplasmic, granular cytoplasmic or membranous).[3]

Bile canaliculi:

Image:

Cholangiocarcinoma

General

  • Malignancy of the biliary tree.
  • May be intrahepatic, i.e. intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (abbreviated ICC), or extrahepatic.

Epidemiology

  • Rare - approximately 1/5 the incidence of HCC.[46]
  • More common among asians.

Risks:

Gross

  • Classically one large mass - outline described as cauliflower-like.[51]
    • May have satellite nodules.

Image:

Microscopic

Features:[52]

  • Usually an adenocarcinoma, i.e. gland forming with:
    • Cuboidal or columnar mucin producing cells, and
    • A dense fibrous (desmoplastic) stroma.

Notes:

  • Biliary stents lead to reactive changes,[53] these can be confused for malignancy. One must always check whether a biliary stent was in situ at time of biopsy.[54]
  • Usually abundant desmoplasia, ergo hard to get good, i.e. diagnositic, endoluminal brushing specimens.[55]

DDx:

Images:

IHC

Classic IHC pattern:[56]

  • CK7 +ve.
  • CK20 +ve/-ve.
  • HepPar-1 -ve.
  • AFP -ve.[57]

ICC vs. HCC:[58]

  • ICC: CK19 (92.5%), MUC-1 (73.8%) +ve.
  • HCC: HepPar-1 (85.6%), CD34 (87.8%) +ve.

HCC vs. ICC:[59]

  • TTF-1: ~90-100% +ve (cytoplasmic) in HCC vs. ~10% in cholangiocarcinoma.

Angiosarcoma

Main article: Angiosarcoma

General

  • Liver angiosarcomas are associated with vinyl chloride exposure.[60]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Atypical endothelial cells - may be subtle.

Hepatic metastasis

  • AKA liver metastases.

General

  • Metastases are very common - often from the gastrointestinal tract, e.g. colorectal cancer.
    • Most liver masses in are not biopsied... as a primary lesion is evident.[61]
  • Dependent on the extent of disease, CRC metastatic to the liver may be curable with a liver resection.
  • It is important to consider germ cell tumours in the DDx as these may be curable with chemotherapy.
  • Clear cell variant of HCC may be misdiagnosed as metastatic clear cell carcinoma.
  • Interhepatic cholangiocarcinoma is an adenocarcinoma - it may look like a metastatic lesion.


Further reading:

Gross pathology/radiology

  • Multifocal or solitary.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Histologic features are dependent on primary and degree of differentiation.

The classic liver metastasis (colorectal carcinoma):

  • Gland forming columnar shaped cells with pseudostratified hyperchromatic cigar-shaped nuclei.

Image:

IHC

  • Metastases are typically negative for HepPar-1.
    • HepPar-1 (hepatocytes paraffin antibody 1) - labels hepatocellular mitochondria.[62]
