Figure 3. Photomicrographs of the resected specimen (H&E). (a) Panoramic view of section A (Figure 2) shows a well differentiated papillary adenocarcinoma invading the shallow subserosa accompanied by abundant fibrosis and hyperplastic lymph follicles. Note that the subserosal adipose layer beneath the lesion is thickened and free from carcinoma, fibrosis or lymph follicles. (b) High power view of the shallow subserosa demonstrates small nests of adenocarcinoma accompanied by lymphocytic infiltration and fibrosis.
