5. Figure 4
These photomicrographs show the resected tumor thrombus from the right pulmonary vein. A, Sheets of highly atypical epithelioid cells with enlarged hyperchromatic nuclei and numerous atypical mitotic figures were identified (hematoxylin and eosin, 400×). B, The neoplastic cells reacted strongly with antibodies directed against desmin (Immunoperoxidase staining, 400×)
