Description |
This is the pancreas and adjacent soft tissues from a 20 month old female NOD.B10/SNH2bJ mouse. The pancreas is in the lower right field of the low magnification image. The tissue is stained with aldehyde fuschin to label beta cells that contain insulin (dark purple). The upper left half of the image contains a somewhat oval mass of white fat and amorphous pink material (coagulative necrosis of adipocytes). Although no stalk is evident in this section, this most likely was a pedunculated lipoma that underwent torsion of the stalk resulting in infarction of the lipoma. |
