This photomicrograph illustrates areas of osteo-chondromatous (OC), neural (N), epithelial (E), and skeletal muscle (M) differentiation. Areas of osteo-chondromatous differentiation are characterized by the formation of cartilaginous masses with endochondral ossification. Areas of skeletal muscle differentiation are composed of bundles of immature myocytes separated by small amounts of fibrovascular stroma. Areas of epithelial differentiation are composed of trabeculae, nests and acini. Some of the acini are surrounded by goblet cells and are moderately distended by a mucoid substance. Areas of neural differentiation are composed of glial cells and neurones scattered in a pale acidophilic substance consistent with glia. |
