Medium power view of a metastatic - well-differentiated adenocarcinoma in bone

A medium-high power view of metastatic adenocarcinoma in bone.
The green arrows point to a spicule of normal bone.
The bright yellow-orange arrow in the center of the field points to the adenocarcinoma growing into this bone spicule.
Near the tip of the pointer, the cells form a structure that resembles a normal acinus of a gland confirming the structure to be an adenocarcinoma.
This tumor probably arose in the colon.
