Pathology Image Detail
Caption |
This is an adrenal gland from a 625 day old female BALB/cByJ mouse. The cortex (outer layer) should normally be uniform in thickness and tinctorial qualities. Thre are dark blue spindle cells proliferating (subcapsular cells) a common finding in mature and old mice. In addition there is a nodule of proliferating pale cells which are presumably an adrenal cortical adenoma. Immunohistochemistry will need to be done to determine which cell type is forming this lesion. Image is a higher magnification of the bottom left-center portion of the 4x image. |
