Low grade pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor.  A. Stromal trabeculums (black arrows) support the uniform, non-necrotic tumor that has sharp edges (green arrows). B. Modestly variable, rounded nuclei show open chromatin and nucleoli. Individual pyknotic nuclei (black arrows) are insufficient as evidence of necrosis sufficient to increase grade. C. Immunostain. Cytoplasm is diffusely synaptophysin positive. D.  Immunostain. Cytoplasm shows stippled chromogranin positivity. E. Immunostain. Only scattered nuclei are Ki67 positive.
