Metastatic Adenocarcinoma in spinal column
Metastatic Adenocarcinoma in spinal column

The specimen is a coronal section of a portion of the spinal column.
The left four vertebral bodies are relatively normal, as indicated by the presence of red marrow.
The three vertebral bodies on the right show multiple areas of tan white tissue, which represent deposits of metastatic tumor in the bone of the spinal column.
