Figure 3 Cytodiagnosis of well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma by quick Liu stain showing cytological features of well-differentiated HCC with thicked trabecular structure (A) and polygonal tumor cells bearing centrally placed nuclei with a mild degree of pleomorphism and enlargement (B) (A: 100 x, B: 400 x) and cellular monomorphism and mildly increased nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio (C). Glandular structure was present, but the reticular pattern was not shown in Liu stain.
