1

Uterus

 

Gross         

 

 

 

 

 

 

Multiple leiomyomas (leiomyomata)

 

 

2

Uterus

Gross

 

 

 

Multiple leiomyomas (leiomyomata).

Cut section to show location subserosally, submucosally, and Intramurally.

Note: white to tan whorled pattern.

3

Uterus

LP

 

 

 

 

Leiomyoma. Junction of leiomyoma and surrounding myometrium. 

Note: fascicles.

4

Uterus

MP

 

 

 

 

Leiomyoma. Fascicles of uniform, fusiform, smooth muscle cells in longitudinal and cross sections.

5

Uterus

HP

 

 

 

 

 

Same as 4. 

Also note lack of mitoses.

6

Uterus

MP

 

 

 

 

 

Leiomyoma.  Area of hyaline fibrosis, a common degenerative change.

7

Vulva

Gross

 

Vulva intraepithelial neoplasia.  May be papules or macules which can be gray, white, red or darkly pigmented and may be scaly. (Here erythroplakia and leukoplakia, red and white areas). It would be impossible grossly to exclude invasive carcinoma.

8

Vulva

LP

 

 

Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasm III (VIN III).  Note: the epithelium appears bluer than normal because of the closely spaced nuclei (increased nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio).

9

Vulva

HP

VIN III.  Crowded cells with high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratios, hyperchromatic, pleomorphic nuclei and increased number of mitoses (with abnormal forms) extending up more than 2/3 of the thickness of the epithelium.  No invasion.

10

Vulva

HP

 

 

 

 

 

VIN III.  Same as 9.  Also, note: parakeratosis and hyperkeratosis.

11

Uterine Cervix

Gross

 

 

 

 

 

 

Squamous carcinoma.

12

Uterine Cervix (opened)

Gross

 

 

 

 

 

Squamous carcinoma.

 

13

Uterine Cervix

LP

 

 

 

 

 

Squamous carcinoma.  Note: invasive fingers and nests or sheets of cohesive cells.

14

Uterine Cervix

LP

 

 

 

 

 

Squamous carcinoma with adjacent dysplastic epithelium.

 

15

Uterine Cervix

MP

 

 

Squamous carcinoma.  Nests of cohesive cells containing hyperchromatic nuclei and havingan increased nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio.  Note: reactive stroma indicating invasion.

 

16

Uterine Cervix

HP

 

 

Squamous carcinoma.  Polygonal cells with central nuclei forming pavement-like sheets and nests. Marked eosinophilia of cytoplasm of some cells indicates keratinization and intercellular bridges are also evident  in some areas.  (Spaces in tumor are from degeneration and are not gland spaces).

 

 

17

Uterine Cervix

MP

 

Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN III) with extension into endocervical glands.  (Same epithelial changes as seen in VIN III).  CIN is a disease of the metaplastic squamous epithelium of the transformation zone.

 

18

Uterus

Gross

 

 

 

 

Endometrial adenocarcinoma.  Note: shaggy, tan, and hemorrhagic appearance.

19

Uterus

Gross

 

 

 

 

 

Endometrial adenocarcinoma.  Note: shaggy, glistening and focally hemorrhagic appearance.

 

20

Uterus

LP

 

 

 

Endometrioid adenocarcinoma.  Note: complexity of glands and extension into myometrium (pale eosinophilic bands).

 

21

Uterus

MP

 

 

Endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Invasive tumor (note: surrounding smooth muscle) composed of complex glands lined by cuboidal or columnar cells with multilayering and intraluminal tufting.

 

22

Uterus

HP

 

 

 

 

 

 

Same as 21.
