Vincenzo Mazzaferro, Andrea Pulvirenti, Jorgelina Coppa  Journal of Hepatology  Volume 47, Issue 4, Pages (October 2007) DOI: /j.jhep Copyright © 2007 European Association for the Study of the Liver Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 Proliferation index (grading) of gastrointestinal NET as assessed by Ki67 immunocytochemistry in biopsies of liver metastases. Arrows indicate positive cells. (a) Well-differentiated carcinoid (Ki67: none or <2% cells/10 HPF); (b) low-grade malignant carcinoid (Ki67: 2–5% cells/10 HPF); (c) poorly-differentiated endocrine carcinoma (Ki67: >10% cells/10 HPF).

3 Fig. 2 Diffuse hepatic metastases by low-grade malignant carcinoid limited to less than 50% of the hepatic parenchyma. The specimen belongs to a young girl with primary tumor removed in the terminal ileum; she is alive and well with no sign of recurrence 15 years after liver transplantation.
