This study characterises morphonuclear parameters from normal, cirrhotic, tumoral benign and malignant liver specimens obtained by computerized morphonuclear images analyses. The material is obtained by cytological aspirations or by imprint smears from liver biopsy. The monoparametric analysis differentiates a benign and a malignant cellular populations. In the malignant populations, two types are individualised: the well differentiated and the pleiomorphic hepatocarcinoma. The treatment of the data by canonical projections onto the factorial plan and by discriminant analysis allowed the selection of homogeneous cell populations belonging to each of the pathological groups described above.
