Endocrine system 208Pituitary adenoma 148Multinodular goiter and thyroid adenoma 244Papillary thyroid carcinoma 245Follicular thyroid carcinoma 196Diabetic nephropathy 186Insuloma 211Adrenal hyperplasia
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
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
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
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
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)
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
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
