title: Standardized reporting of histological diagnoses for non-neoplastic liver conditions in needle biopsies.
abstract: The importance of standardizing surgical pathology reports is emerging from the literature. The use of checklists has recently been proposed for diagnosing the major tumour types, but no attention has been given to non-neoplastic conditions. In this paper a checklist for standard reports of liver needle biopsies for non-neoplastic conditions is presented.
