Resolution: standard / high Figure 1.
a: Primary bladder adenocarcinoma, enteric type. Moderately differentiated malignant glands are seen with dirty luminal necrosis.
Elongated, enlarged and hyperchromatic nuclei with prominent stratification line the
malignant glands. (Hematoxylin & eosin, x100). b: Primary bladder adenocarcinoma, mucinous type. Scattered small groups of tumor cells
with intracytoplasmic mucin are seen in a background of abundant mucinous material
(Hematoxylin & eosin, x200). c: Primary bladder adenocarcinoma, signet ring cell type: Tumor comprised of diffuse
sheets of signet ring cells infiltrating the bladder wall (Hematoxylin & eosin, x200).
d: Cystitis cystica involving the surface urothelium with underlying invasive primary
bladder adenocarcinoma (Hematoxylin & eosin, x100). e: Extensive cystitis glandularis, intestinal type seen adjacent to a focus of invasive
primary bladder adenocarcinoma (not seen in this image) (Hematoxylin & eosin, x40).
f: Metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. Moderately differentiated, infiltrating malignant
glands with morphological features similar to primary bladder adenocarcinoma see in
a (Hematoxylin & eosin, x100).
