Kras^G12D mutation was associated with patches of villus-like structures in the ascending colon.

Abstract

<p>A. H&E staining shows villus-like architecture in an area of the ascending colon. Normal colonic crypt structure resumes on upper right side of each panel (arrowhead). B. Immunolabeling for Ki67 (brown) indicates that the proliferative zones associated with villus-like structures are similar in cell number to normal colonic crypts. Size bars, 50 µm.</p
