a Adrenocortical carcinoma, adrenal gland, ferret. Neoplastic cells infiltrate the capsule and adjacent adipose tissue with a mild desmoplasia, and minimal lymphoplasmacytic inflammation. Bar 50 micron, Hematoxylin and eosin stain. b Adrenocortical carcinoma, adrenal gland, ferret. Concurrent presence of large polygonal cells of the zona fasciculate characterized by granular cytoplasm and of smaller cells with high nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio. Bar 50 micron, Hematoxylin and eosin stain. c Insular adenoma, pancreas, ferret. Typical expansile growth delimited by a thick fibrous capsule. Cells are organized in dense pockets with minimal highly vascularized stroma. Bar 1 mm, Hematoxylin and eosin stain. d Insular adenocarcinoma, pancreas, ferret. The tumor is characterized by infiltration of the capsule and adjacent exocrine pancreas by neoplastic cells. Bar 50 micron, Hematoxylin and eosin stain. e Squamous cell carcinoma, skin, ferret. Cords of atypical keratinocytes of the spinous layer are proliferating and invading the superficial dermis. Asynchronous keratinocyte maturation and keratin pearls are visible. Bar 50 micron, Hematoxylin and eosin stain. f Well differentiated mast cell tumor, haired skin, ferret. The dermis is diffusely obscured and substituted by dense sheets of well-differentiated mast cells. Bar 50 micron, Hematoxylin and eosin stain
