What's inside the Histology library
The histology library links what you see down the microscope to the diagnosis — architecture first, then cytology — with the malignant features called out explicitly.
Colonic adenocarcinoma
Malignant glands are irregular, crowded and back-to-back, often with cribriform (gland-within-gland) architecture, lined by cells with enlarged, elongated, hyperchromatic and stratified nuclei and a raised nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio. The gland-forming pattern defines an adenocarcinoma; invasion through the muscularis mucosae into the stroma, with a desmoplastic reaction, is what separates invasive carcinoma from high-grade dysplasia.
