Our diagnosis Adenomatoid tumor
A very peculiar and constant feature is presence of thin intraluminal bridging strands • Bridging strands are so thin that resembled lipocytes of adipose tissue • Strands bridged lumina of numerous tubular and slit-like structures and formed fine inconspicuous network in some cases. • Bridging strands are present constantly in ATs.
Ultrastructure • Ultrastructurally, bridges are formed by apposition of attenuated cytoplasm of two adjacent cells. • Luminal surfaces are covered by short, narrow, occasionally branched or bushy microvilli confirming their mesothelial origin
