Abstract

A comparative analysis of vascularization degree of hepatocellular carcinoma and focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver according to the multislice computed tomography and histological study of tissue is presented. It was established that computed tomography with bolus contrast enhancement allows to study the characteristics of blood supply of the liver and focal formations. Frequently only the use of this method helps to evaluate specific morphological structure of tumors - hepatocellular carcinoma or focal nodular hyperplasia. As an additional differential diagnostic feature is recommended to increase the density determination of tissue formation in the arterial phase computed tomography study. The maximum of vascularization by computed tomography and immunohistochemistry (with antibodies CD34) are installed in a tissue of highly differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma.
