Metastatic adenocarcinoma to cerebrum
Metastatic adenocarcinoma to cerebrum

This is a coronal section of the cerebral hemispheres through the thalamus.
Note the two discrete dark nodules, one in the thalamus and one in the putamen and globus pallidus. These represent metastases.
The black coloration of the lesions suggest they come from a malignant melanoma, but only microscopic examination will tell for sure.
