Hepatocellular carcinoma with intracytoplasmic hyaline globules.
A case of hepatocellular carcinoma with intracytoplasmic hyaline globules is reported. By serological, histochemical, immunofluorescent and electron microscopic studies the authors maintain that in this case intracytoplasmic hyaline globules represent lysosomal structures. According to Von Ardenne's theory, these lysosomal globules appear related to neoplastic cells necrosis.
