A-C: Positive staining of cytokeratin (CK) 5/6, CK7 and CK19 shows brown and granular deposits in the cytoplasm (× 100); D: Positive staining of protein 40 shows brown and granular deposits in the nucleus (× 100); E and F: The tumor showed atypia, mitosis, solid nests, and tubular structures (hematoxylin and eosin stain, × 100); G and H: Negative staining of glypicnn-3 and hepatocytes in tumor cells (× 100).
