Hyaline globules, also hyaline bodies, are a common non-specific histomorphologic feature that can be useful in formulating a differential diagnosis.
They can be seen in benign and malignant tissue.
Microscopic
Features:
- Eosinophilic (pink) round bodies ~ typically 4-10 micrometers in diameter.
Benign
- Ectopic decidua.[1]
Tumours
Gynecologic:
- Clear cell carcinoma (CCC).
- Yolk sac tumour, hepatoid pattern.[2]
Gastrointestinal:
- Solid pseudopapillary tumour.[3]
- Pancreatic endocrine tumour.[3]
- Hepatocellular carcinoma - very common.[4]
Other:
- Renal cell carcinoma.[4]
- Kaposi sarcoma (KS).
- Secretory Meningioma.[5]
- Lung adenocarcinoma.[6]
- Estimated to be present in 6% of lung adenocarcinomas (in cohort of 100 adenocarcinomas).[7]
