| Medium power view of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of bone
| A medium power view of an area of fibrous dysplasia of
bone.
In this power, one can easily appreciate the tumor
contains two types of tissue.
A more cellular area marked by the asterisks, and a
less cellular, more deeply and uniformly eosinophilic
staining islands.
One of these islands is under the bright orange-yellow
pointer in the middle.
The more eosinophilic, less cellular areas represent
new islands of bone formation within the fibrous matrix
of this tumor.
These eosinophilic material is osteoid,the
organic matrix of bone.
