Metastatic Gastric Carcinoma

•A low power view of metastatic adenocarcinoma in the liver.
•The cluster of dark blue staining glands (in the middle and slightly to the right in this image) is the metastatic focus in the liver.
•The more eosinophilic staining material is the liver.
•It is not obvious at this power, but the liver parenchyma surrounding the metastatic tumor shows evidence of acute inflammation.
