Figure 2 | Haematoxylin and eosin staining of different histological patterns of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. a | Neoplastic cells with a spindled and pleomorphic giant pattern. Lymphocytic infiltration is present in the stroma (indicated by the arrows; ×20). b | Neoplastic cells with a pleomorphic giant cell pattern (×20). c | The presence of extensive tumour necrosis (indicated by the arrows; ×10). d | Atypical mitotic figure (tripolar mitosis is indicated by the arrow; ×40). e | Entrapped non-neoplastic thyroid follicles (indicated by the arrows; ×20). f | Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) with adjacent differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) (indicated by the arrows; ×20). g | ATC with an adjacent component of poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) (indicated by the arrows; ×20). h,i | Different regions of ATC with tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) (×20), highlighted with immunohistochemical staining using anti‑CD68 antibody (×40).
