Histopathologic Spectrum of Focal Liver Lesions Diagnosed by Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Liver Biopsy and Predictors of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Single-Center Experience from Sub-Saharan Africa
This single-center study from sub-Saharan Africa demonstrates that ultrasound-guided percutaneous liver biopsy is a safe and effective diagnostic tool for focal liver lesions, revealing hepatocellular carcinoma as the predominant pathology and identifying chronic viral hepatitis and larger tumor size as significant predictors of the disease.
