Pituitary adenoma
-relatively uniform, polygonal cells arrayed in sheets or cords
- supporting connective tissue or reticulin sparse
-the nuclei of the neoplastic cells uniform or pleomorphic
- mitotic activity usually modest
- the cytoplasm of the constituent cells acidophilic, basophilic, or chromophobic
Pituitary adenoma
Pituitary adenoma
Multinodular goiter and thyroid adenoma
Multinodular goiter:
-colloid-rich follicles lined by flattened, inactive epithelium - areas of follicular epithelial hypertrophy and hyperplasia - degenerative changes: areas of hemorrhage, fibrosis, calcification, and cystic change
Follicular adenoma:
- uniform-appearing follicles that contain colloid - the follicular growth pattern within the adenoma quite distinct from the adjacent non-neoplastic thyroid(feature distinguishing adenomas from multinodular goiters, in which nodular and uninvolved thyroid parenchyma may have similar growth patterns)- epithelial cells composing the follicular adenoma with little variation in cell and nuclear morphology

Multinodular goiter and thyroid adenoma
Papillary thyroid carcinoma
-branching papillae with a fibrovascular stalk covered by a single to multiple layers of cuboidal epithelial cells
- the epithelium covering the papillae consists of well-differentiated, uniform, orderly, cuboidal cells (sometimes more anaplastic with variation in cell and nuclear morphology)
-the nuclei of papillary carcinoma cells contain finely dispersed chromatin, which imparts an optically clear or empty appearance (ground glass or Orphan Annie eye nuclei)
- invaginations of the cytoplasm in cross-sections give the appearance of intranuclear inclusions ("pseudo-inclusions") or intranuclear grooves
- the diagnosis of papillary carcinoma is based on these nuclear features even in the absence of papillary architecture
- concentrically calcified structures (psammoma bodies) often present
Papillary thyroid carcinoma
Papillary thyroid carcinoma
Follicular thyroid carcinoma
- fairly uniform cells forming small follicles containing colloid
- sometimes follicular differentiation less apparent with nests or sheets of cells without colloid
-nuclear features are of little value in distinguishing follicular adenomas from minimally invasive follicular carcinomas
- this distinction requires analysis of capsular and/or vascular invasion
- the criterion for vascular invasion is applicable only to capsular vessels and vascular spaces beyond the capsule; the presence of tumor plugs within intratumoral blood vessels has little prognostic significance
Follicular thyroid carcinoma
Diabetic nephropathy
Glomerular lesions
- diffuse mesangial sclerosis (a diffuse increase in mesangial matrix)
- nodular glomerulosclerosis (ball-like, paS postive deposits of a laminated matrix situated in the periphery of the glomerulus)
Renal atherosclerosis and arteriolosclerosis
Pyelonephritis including necrotizing papillitis (or papillary necrosis)
Diabetic nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy
Insuloma
- tumor cells form groups similar to giant islets, with preservation of the regular cords of monotonous cells and their orientation to the vasculature
- even the malignant lesions present little evidence of anaplasia, and may be deceptively encapsulated
- by immunocytochemistry, hormons eg. insulin can be localized in the tumor cells
Insuloma
Insuloma
Adrenal hyperplasia
Diffuse hyperplasia: - an increase in the size and number of lipid-rich cells in the zonae fasciculata and reticularis - some degree of nodularity is common
Nodular hyperplasia:- nodules composed of a mixture of lipid-laden clear cells and lipid-poor compact cells showing some variability in cell and nuclear size with occasional binucleate forms
