Photomicrographs. (a) Haematoxylin and Eosin stain (100×) of a hamartomatous polyp from the descending
colon showed proliferation of dilated mucinous glands surrounded by smooth muscle
fibers. This latter feature is characteristic of hamartomatous polyps observed in
patients with Peutz-Jegher syndrome. (b) Photomicrograph of the left kidney tumor
was composed of a solid proliferation of spindle cell with large irregular nucleus,
abundant cytoplasm, and prominent mitotic figures. The findings are consistent with
a high-grade clear cell renal cell carcinoma, sarcomatoid type.
