Gross appearance and microscopic findings of colorectal cancer. (A), Gross morphology of an opened Miles’ abdominoperineal resection specimen containing an exophytic mass. The bowel lumen can become progressively narrowed and constricted. (B), Representative images of a moderately differentiated colorectal adenocarcinoma (H&E stains, ×100). The tumor cells are arranged in glandular patterns, with a prominent desmoplastic stromal response.
