Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy of Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Related Hepatocellular Nodular Lesions in Cirrhosis: Controversies, Challenges, and Expectations

<table>FNA of well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma.                                                                 Small-sized malignant hepatocytes exhibit monotonous appearance with tendency to dissociation. The cells display well-defined cell borders, decreased dense cytoplasm, slightly eccentric nuclei, increased nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, and impression of nuclear crowding. Transgressing endothelium abound (Papanicolaou, ×200).</table>
