Liver biopsy diagnosis of unsuspected or unconfirmed lymphoproliferative or myeloproliferative disorders.

Review of 2,400 consecutive percutaneous liver biopsy specimens revealed 3 (0.1%) with morphologically unequivocal but clinically unsuspected or unconfirmed malignant lymphomas and 20 (0.8%) with infiltrates suggestive of or compatible with lymphoproliferative or myeloproliferative disorders. These diagnoses were subsequently confirmed in 7 of the 20 cases, whereas in 4 the nature of the infiltrates and the outcome remain undecided. In the remaining 9 cases, inflammatory sinusoidal infiltrates had been erroneously suspected to represent lymphoproliferative or myeloproliferative disorders.

Although some experts recommend against attempting to eradicate the organism, our health center decided that under the circumstances this course should be pursued. This article describes the outbreak of Staphylococcus aureus, the rationale for pursuing its eradication, the measures successful in doing so, and the relative costs involved.
