Pathology Image Detail

Caption

This appears to be a leiomyosarcoma that seeded throughout the abdomen of a 621 day old NZW/LacJ male mouse. A smooth muscle actin isoform immunohistochemical reaction will need to be run to confirm the diagnosis. In this case it is effacing the exocrine pancreas. This image is a higher magnification of the upper central area of the 10x image.
