Critical pathogenic steps to high risk Helicobacter pylori gastritis and gastric carcinogenesis

Figure 5 Atypical Malgun cells. A: Atypical malgun cells (AMC) develops at the proliferative zone, showing characteristic ‘‘perinuclear halo’’ but hyperchromatic nuclei (arrows) (HE, × 45). B: Magnified view of A, showing 2 mulberry cells (arrows) in AMC (HE, × 100). C: High power view of AMC and Mulberry cells. Atypical Malgun cells show irregular nuclear folding, hyperchromatism, coarse chromatin, and multiple nucleoli nuclear folding. Two Mulberry cells with extreme nuclear folding are indicated by arrows. The left one shows cytoplasmic mucin (HE, × 400).
