We examined the utility of AgNOR staining in this context. Fifteen cases of HCC and 25 cases of CN were stained by AgNOR method and the mean AgNOR number for one hundred nuclei in each case was determined. There was a significant difference between the mean AgNOR counts in CN (6.63±4.00) and HCC (11.36±2.88) (p }, URL = {http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/article-1-983-en.html}, eprint = {http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/article-1-983-en.pdf}, journal = {Medical Journal of the Islamic Republic Of Iran}, doi = {}, year = {1999} }
