Cholangiocarcinnoma, intrahepatic, in a 72 year old man, poorly differentiated. A. Multiple cancerous foci strew otherwise unremarkable liver. B. Low cuboidal glands fuse and spread, with desmoplasia (green arrows points to slightly blue sttroma) and indian files (blue arrows). C. Aberrant single cells and cell clusters are present, with very little apparent cytoplasm, with extremely variable nuclei, with black and sometimes bubbly chromatin. Note close approximation raising possibility of molding (arrows). D. A mucicarmine stain, even when negative, can highlight the epithelial grouping of the nuclei by virtue of the slightly pink stroma. E. CK7 immunostain shows mostly groups, but also demarcates isolated cancer cells amid scar. Tumor was negative for | Cholangiocarcinnoma, intrahepatic, in a 72 year old man, poorly differentiated. A.
