There is cribriforming of glands and epithelial budding. Plump spindle cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm surround the abnormal epithelium (desmoplastic stroma). No definite submucosa is identified; the diagnosis is based on the stromal desmoplasia. | There is cribriforming of glands and epithelial budding.

The sections shows multiple fragments of colorectal-type mucosa with a tubule-forming and villous-forming epithelium that has cellular pseudostratification and enlarged hyperchromatic nuclei, from | |||
the crypt base to the luminal aspect (dysplasia). | |||
Cribriforming of glands is identified at multiple foci. Goblet cells are rare in the | |||
dysplastic epithelium. | |||
One fragment of tissue, measuring approximately 2 millimetres, has increased numbers of plump stromal cells (desmoplastic response); this is suspicious for invasive adenocarcinoma. | |||
