Figure 2. Histological and electron-microscopic morphology of the primary tumour: a) haematoxylin and eosin staining; b) Nuclear morphology demonstrates large atypical cell nuclei with heterochromic prominent nucleoli; c) Cytoplasm: few reticular endoplasmic reticuli with few dark elongated elliptical mitochondria; d) Lipid vacuoles: few with no accumulation of glycogen.
