Slide 81: Adrenal Cortical Hyperplasia
 |
This is a little tricky
to see. There will be generalized thickening of the adrenal cortex
and some "disarray" of the usual cortical architecture. The big question
that comes up with this condition is why did happen?
See this slide with the
virtual microscope. |

There is really not a
whole lot to this slide. The cortex is markedly thickened and there are
no well defined tumors or areas of necrosis. There is some "disarray" of
the cortex, that is it is hard to distinguish the three layers, but otherwise
it is pretty much adrenal gland. You might want to look at the normal gland
to see what the expected appearance should be. |
