Abstract
We report three cases of hepatobiliary cystadenoma with mesenchymal st roma in which oestrogen receptor immunostaining was carried out, after using a microwave method of antigen retrieval, In one of the tumours immunoreactivity for oestrogen receptors was demonstrated within the m esenchymal stromal cells. The presence of oestrogen receptors supports the theory that oestrogens act as tumour promoters and may explain th e female predilection.
