General and Systemic Histopathology, C601&C602
|
No trouble seeing the
adenoma here. As with all the other slides, I suggest you look at the
normal part of the gland first and then move to the area of the tumor. See this slide with the virtual microscope. |

These adenomas can become quite large, so your slide may only have a small part of it. See if you can find the capsule to get your bearings. The tissue within the capsule will not look very much different from that outside. Basically, the microscopic examination confirms the benign nature of this lesion. I doubt that anyone could tell they were looking at an adenoma if only a small part of this tumor were to be shown in a picture. You would need the whole thing to see it. |
