pubmed-article:1723213 | pubmed:abstractText | We analyzed the number and aspect of nucleolar organizer regions in 11 specimens from ampullary carcinoma, by means of silver colloidal staining. The number of regions was higher than that found in intestinal villi but similar to that in cripti. The size of the regions was larger than any of those mentioned above. These elements may contribute to evaluate endoscopic samples in the diagnosis of ampullary lesions. | lld:pubmed |
