High power of a malignant fibrous histiocytoma

A high power view of a malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
Typical features are highlighted in this image.
The two black arrows point to multi-nucleated giant cells typical of this lesion.
The one just above the center appears to have a large number of nuclei arranged in a horse-shoe shaped structure within the cell.
The two green arrows point to extremely hyperchromatic nuclei that seem almost black in this image.
This degree of hyperchromasia and bizzare giant cells are typical of malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
