Massive cases significantly outnumbered diffuse ones (P < 0.05, χ² = 6.09). There is no difference between massive ones and nodular ones, or nodular ones and diffuse ones (P > 0.05). Peripheral ones outnumbered central ones in blood supply (P < 0.05, χ² = 7.34). Sufficient blood supply cases significantly outnumbered cases of moderate blood supply (P < 0.05, χ² = 5.83). There is no difference between those with sufficient and poor supply, or with moderate and poor supply (P > 0.05).
