Introduction: liver biopsy is a useful diagnostic method to determine the etiology and progression of chronic liver disease, and to investigate the nature of hepatic nodular lesions and its management. It has achieved a better understanding of the pathological basis of various liver diseases. Materials and methods: this is a retrospective, longitudinal, descriptive and observational study. Liver biopsies were collected from 69 patients, both hospitalized and outpatients, during the months of may to september 2011. Results: 69 biopsies were performed, of which 36 procedures were performed on women and 33 on men, 52% and 48% respectively. Their ages ranged from 11 months to 94 years with a mean of 34 and a median of 62 years. The most common histopathological findings was metastases (23%), the most frequent being the metastatic adenocarcinoma with 11.6%, and the second most common condition with cirrhosis with 17.4%. Conclusions: liver biopsy is a useful diagnostic method to determine both primary liver diseases, systemic diseases with liver involvement, and the etiology of nodular lesions such as metastatic solid tumors.
