Pathology Image Detail
Caption |
Spindle cell carcinoma: this photomicrograph illustrates an epithelial area. As exemplified on this photomicrograph, cornification may be observed in neoplasms undergoing epithelial to mesenchymal transition. Cornification is characterized by neoplastic cells acquiring a more abundant and more acidophilic cytoplasm as well as more angular contours. Their nucleus is larger, more hypochromatic, and with a larger nucleolus than other neoplastic cells. |
