Slide 109: Adrenal Cortical Adenoma
 |
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 the 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. |
