Adenocarcinoma of liver from a primary site is common. This study was formulated for rising the attentions about validity of the apparently normal tissue histology adjacent to cancerous tissue for investigating risk factors that could be associated with or leading to cancers. This issue was investigated by this retrospective study done on slides of adenocarcinoma of liver that were obtained from hospital of Al-Sadder in Najaf city, morphometric parameters including; the number of binucleated/ mononucleated hepatocytes, evaluation of the stromal, parenchymatous, vascular and biliary tissue constituents. The statistical analysis provides conclusive data that could be valuable database for researchers working in the field of histochemical changes associated with cancer.
