Adrenal gland cancer. Light micrograph of a section through the inner region (medulla) of an adrenal gland tumour. The malignant (cancerous) tumour (neoplasm) is a neuroblastoma. The tumour cells are small and undifferentiated,with large dark nuclei that are surrounded by a narrow irregular rim of cytoplasm. Characteristic rosette-shaped arrangements of tumour cells surrounding a nerve fibre (neurofibril,pink) are seen (centre). The adrenal glands are located on the surface of the kidneys,and they release hormones such as adrenaline. Neuroblastomas mainly affect young children. Magnification unknown | |
