•Cut surface of a liver with a large focus of metastatic
tumor.
•Note the brownish color of the normal liver parenchyma
and the white-tan color of the tumor deposit.
•Note that the center of the tumor deposit appears
depressed.
•This is because the tumor growth often out-strips the
vascular supply.
•This results in necrosis of cells at the center of the
nodule.
