(A) High-power view (40×) of the parathyroid adenoma portion of the specimen. (B) High power-view (40×) of the metastatic lung adenocarcinoma within the specimen. (C) Low-power view (10×) showing both populations of cells. The parathyroid adenoma is to the left. (D) Similar section as (C), showing IHC staining for chromogranin. The parathyroid portion of the specimen is positive (brown staining). (E) Similar section as (C), showing IHC staining for CK7. The adenocarcinoma portion of the specimen is positive (brown staining). (F) Similar section as (C), showing IHC staining for TTF-1.
