Figure 1From: Metastatic pituitary carcinoma in a patient with acromegaly: a case report Photomicrograph of a section of the mass removed from the patient’s neck.

Two globular fibrous bodies are also present in the section (one marked with the short arrow). The bodies are suggestive of a growth hormone-producing tumor.Back to article page
