Embryonal sarcoma of the liver with chondroid differentiation

Figure 2 Histopathological findings. A: Atypical spindle cells are proliferating and are arranged compactly or loosely (HE, bar = 200 μm); B: Some tumor cells contain eosinophilic hyaline globules of various sizes, which are resistant to diastase and positive for PAS (D-PAS, bar = 100 μm); C: In a small area, cartilage formation is observed (HE, bar = 1 mm); D: The cartilage component retains a lobulated appearance. The tumor cells exhibit nuclear atypia and anisonucleosis. Some cells are mitotic. As the cartilagenous matrix was deposited around the spindle tumor cells, tumor cells were seen to change to chondrosarcoma (HE, bar = 200 μm). HE: hematoxylin and eosin stain; D-PAS: Periodic acid-Schiff stain after diastase digestion.
