[The value of needle biopsy of the liver in the differential diagnosis of cholestatic jaundice. A clinico-pathologic study of 101 cases (author's transl)].
The examination of needle biopsy of the liver has permitted the identification of the aetiology of cholestatic jaundice in eighty five cases out of a series of one hundred-and-one patients, leaving eight without definite diagnosis and eight false diagnosis. The characteristic histopathologic lesions of lobular hepatitis and of obstructive jaundice are reviewed. The problems of identification of particular microscopic forms (obstructive jaundice with minimal portal tracts alterations, residual stage of hepatitis, cholangiolitic and hypercholestatic forms of hepatitis) are discussed.
