Gross and microscopic images of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. a A macroscopic appearance of PDAC shows a whitish, firm, infiltrative mass (blue box) in a background of unremarkable pancreatic tissue. b Microscopic findings of well-differentiated PDAC show irregular, malformed glands (arrows) embedded in a desmoplastic stroma, (H&E × 100). c Microscopic findings of moderate-differentiated PDAC show a cribriform pattern with a moderate degree of anaplasia and mitoses (circles), (H&E × 200). d Microscopic findings of PDAC show lymph vascular emboli (arrows), blood vessel wall is highlighted by an asterisk (H&E × 400). e Microscopic findings of PDAC show perineural invasion (arrows), nerves are highlighted by asterisks, (H&E × 200). f Microscopic findings of PDAC show metastasis to regional lymph node (arrows), residual nodal tissue is highlighted by asterisks, (H&E × 200)
