WHAT IS PANCREAS PATHOLOGY?

PANCREAS PATHOLOGY
Pancreas serial sections were stained with double immunohistochemistry (IHC) stains (CD3 and glucagon, Ki67 and insulin, brown and red, respectively). Pseudoatrophic islets (glucagon-positive cells only) are located adjacent to an insulin-positive islet in this section. Insulitis is detected by numerous CD3+ T cells adjacent to and infiltrating two islets (arrows).
