Coffee bean nucleus is a cell nucleus that looks like a coffee bean. Coffee bean nuclei have a limited differential diagnosis.
Microscopic
Features - coffee bean nuclei have:
- An ellipsoid-shape.
- A central groove (along the long axis of the nucleus).
Images
Coffee bean nuclei in a Brenner tumour (WC)
Classic differential diagnosis
Others considerations
- Invasive ductal carcinoma of the pancreas.
- Langerhans cell histiocytosis.[3]
- Papillary thyroid carcinoma. (???)
- Walthard cell rest.
