  1. Would think either histocytic

    Would think either histocytic sarcoma or metastatic carcinoma as does not have the appearance of a lymphoma.

  3. The rosettes seen within the

    The rosettes seen within the liver are suspicious of a bile duct carcinoma.

  4. Target lesions in the liver

    Target lesions in the liver with multifocal capsular expansion and enhanced fat around the capsule all meets neoplastic criteria. 25g fna should define it. Pretty hot pathology.
