Abstract:
A case of primary carcinoid tumor of the liver with striking central fibrous scar in a 61-year-old male is reported. Tumor cells contained electron dense secretory granules with an average diameter 150~200 nm which demonstrated positive immunohistochemical reaction for neuron-specific enolase, synaptophysin and chromogranin. The stellate central scar was observed in various hepatic tumors including focal nodular hyperplasia, fibrolamellar carcinoma, or sclerosing hepatocellular carcinoma, but have not been reported in carcinoid tumor.
