Uterus > Low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma

Deceptively well circumscribed tumor with a tan-yellow soft cut surface; microscopic evaluation revealed myometrial and lymphovascular invasion.

Contributed by Elizabeth Kertowidjojo, M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H.

Colon > Ulcerative colitis

Active chronic colitis with cryptitis is noted.

Contributed by Rachel Horton, D.O. and Catherine E. Hagen, M.D.

Liver & intrahepatic bile ducts > Histology

Periodic acid-Schiff with diastase (PASD) highlights the basement membrane of bile ducts. It also stains alpha-1 antitrypsin globules in hepatocytes in the setting of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. The lack of globules in this image is a normal finding.
