ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS

---

A) Neurofibrillary tangles

This answer is incorrect.

The abnormalities we are looking at in this slide are pseudopallisading and necrosis. "Pallisading" is when cells line up next to each other, like slats in a picket fence. These cells appear to pallisade around the central pale area, which represents necrotic tissue. Pseudopallisading and necrosis are findings associated with glioblastoma multiforma (GBM), which is the tumor shown in this slide.  (See References)
