Fig 3 Liver metastasis of the glucagonoma. At left, circumscribed metastatic glucagonoma tissue is seen with adjacent normal liver tissue (right). Metastatic tumor is composed of small relatively uniform cells with ovoid nuclei that show a gyriform growth pattern. (Hematoxylin-eosin stain; original magnification ×200.)
