Colon: the neoplasm is characterized by the formation of slightly contoured and anastomosed glands lined by a one cell-thick columnar epithelium supported by a small amount of fibrovascular stroma. Neoplastic cells have indistinct cell borders and a moderate amount of strongly amphophilic cytoplasm. The nucleus is central, oval, oriented in the long axis of the cell, and with a clumped chromatin. Mitoses are numerous. A moderate number of apoptotic neoplastic cells (arrowhead) are scattered throughout the neoplasm. |
