Pathology Image Detail

Caption

Epithelial to mesenchymal transition in a solid carcinoma: this high magnification picture illustrates an area of epithelial to mesenchymal transition: neoplastic cells have an epithelial phenotype in the lower and lower right portions of the photomicrograph. The have a mesenchymal phenotype in the upper left portions of the photomicrograph. Concomitant with epithelial to mesenchymal transitions, the pattern of the neoplasm changes from a solid/trabecular pattern to a streaming/whirling pattern.
