This purple stuff is trying to kill me



A few of my pathology slides somehow ended up on the internet, so I thought I'd put one here for the record. This is the yucky stuff -- big, bad, rhabdoid-like epithelioid sarcoma cells. I had hoped, before looking through the various images, that there would be some kind of terrible beauty in one of them. Nope. They are all banal. Like this one -- it could be a close-up of some hipster's recycled glass countertop or unfortunate Marmoleum choice.
