Renal Tubular Dysgenesis in a Case of Fetus Acardius Amorphus

Figure 2

(a1): Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining of the skin of the Fetus acardius amorphus. Fetus acardius amorphus shows differentiated skin tissue, with a stratum corneum, an epidermis, a dermis and a subcutis. Images are shown in 4x magnification. (a2 and a3) Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) staining of the core mass of the Fetus acardius amorphus. Fetus acardius amorphus shows organized bronchus-like structures with respiratory epithelium, goblet cells and cilia (black arrow) on the surface. Images are shown in 4x magnification (a2) and in 40x magnification (a3). (b1 and b2) Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) staining of the core mass of the Fetus acardius amorphus. Fetus acardius amorphus shows differentiated bone and cartilage with bone marrow cells like megakaryocytes, erythrocyte precursor cells as well as myelocytes in between. Images are shown in 10x magnification (b1) and in 40x magnification (b2). (b3 and b4) Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) staining of the core mass of the Fetus acardius amorphus. Fetus acardius amorphus shows differentiated skeletal muscle with long, shapoid myocytes with an ovoid nucleus in the center. Images are shown in 10x magnification (b3) and in 40x magnification (b4). (c1 and c2) Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) staining of the cyst-like structure in the Fetus acardius amorphus. Fetus acardius amorphus shows differentiated neurons of the hippocampus. Images are shown in 10x magnification (c1) and in 40x magnification (c2). (c3 and c4) Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) staining of the gonadal glands in the Fetus acardius amorphus. Fetus acardius amorphus shows gonadal glands with well-formed seminiferous tubules showing Ledyig cells between (black star), and spermatogonia (black arrow) and Sertoli cells (white star) inside. Images are shown in 10x magnification (c3) and in 40x magnification (c4).
