this is a histological slide of the omentum in a cat with pancreatic carcinoma. How do we know this metastasized from the pancreas? what is this form of metasis called? |
the pink granules are indicative of zymogens thus we know it metastasized to omentum carcinomatosis: carcinoma breaks through serosa and invades abdominal cavity |
