@entity189 of the @entity43 that has phenotypic properties in common with @entity157 . However, the extent of the @entity5 cells' similarity to and their difference from hepatocytes is largely unknown. In addition, the precursor cell of origin for @entity43 has not been identified. Three cases of @entity160 -producing @entity43 that were admixed with an @entity420 of common surface epithelial type are reported. The @entity189 had a trabecular architecture with canaliculi detected by polyclonal (but not monoclonal) anticarcinoembryonic antigen antibodies. A hepatic phenotype in the @entity5 cells was further supported by the production of albumin mRNA by in situ hybridization. The @entity420 in the three cases were mucinous (Case 1), serous (Case 2), and endometrioid (Case 3), respectively. The cytokeratin (CK) profile in both the @entity2483 was @entity2873 +/ @entity4166 +/ @entity2225 +/-, whereas normal and neoplastic hepatocytes were @entity2873 +/ @entity4166 -/ @entity2225 -. Although this study supports a hepatic phenotype in @entity43 , the CK profile of @entity189 differs from that of normal and neoplastic hepatocytes but resembles that of the associated common epithelial @entity420 . These findings suggest that @entity43 is probably derived from @entity189 of surface epithelial origin by a process of neometaplasia or transdifferentiation.
