Figure 1 The endoscopic ultrasound guided liver biopsy provides clinicians with a real-time, detailed view of the biopsy needle through the course of the liver.
Figure 2 Histology of liver biopsy from the endoscopic ultrasound approach.
A: Liver parenchyma with macrovesicular steatosis and focal ballooning degeneration (200× magnification, hematoxylin-eosin staining); B: Liver parenchyma with portal tract (center, 200× magnification, hematoxylin-eosin staining); C: Liver biopsy performed to target a mass lesion that was a clinically suspected metastasis (40× magnification, hematoxylin-eosin staining). The majority of the biopsy is composed of pleomorphic epithelioid cells in sheets and trabeculae that was suggestive of metastatic germ cell tumor.
