title: Study on the nucleolar organiser regions in soft tissue liposarcoma.
abstract: The authors studied 24 cases of liposarcoma of soft tissue included in two categories: myxoid liposarcoma and pleomorphic liposarcoma. The 24 tumors were stained by Ploton's method for revealing the nucleolar organiser regions (AgNORs). AgNORs were counted in the nuclei of 100 cells/case. AgNORs in the cells of some cases showed hyperchromasia and an increased size. The results suggest a role of AgNORs as a possible prognostic discriminator of different histological types.
