Fig. 2. Technique, tissue, and disease diversity.

Fig. 2

Panel set A shows diverse techniques in our data. Initials indicate author owning image. A1 RSS: papanicolaou stain. A2 LGP: periodic acid–Schiff (PAS) stain, glycogen in pink. A3 LGP: PAS stain, lower magnification. A4 LGP: H&E stain c.f. Panel A3. A5 LGP: H&E stain, human appendix, including parasite Enterobius vermicularis (c.f. Fig. S2). A6 LGP: Higher magnification E. vermicularis c.f. Panel A5. A7 LGP: Gömöri trichrome, collagen in green. A8 LGP: Diff-quik stain, for cytology. A9 RSS: GMS stain (“Intra-stain diversity” in supplement details variants, Section S5.3.1), fungi black. A10 MPP: Giemsa stain. A11 AM: immunohistochemistry (IHC) stain, positive result. A12 AM: IHC stain, negative result. A13 RSS: Congo red, polarized light, plaques showing green birefringence. A14 MPP: fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) indicating breast cancer Her2 heterogeneity. A15 SY: head computed tomography (CT) scan. A16 LGP: esophageal endoscopy. In panel set B we show differing morphologies for all ten histopathological tissue types on Twitter. B1 CS: bone and soft tissue. We include cardiac here. B2 KH: breast. B3 RSS: dermatological. B4 LGP: gastrointestinal. B5 OOF: genitourinary. B6 MPP: gynecological. B7 BX: otorhinolaryngological a.k.a. head and neck. We include ocular, oral, and endocrine here. B8 CS: hematological, e.g., lymph node. B9 SY: neurological. B10 SM: pulmonary. In panel set C we show the three disease states we use: nontumor, low grade, and malignant. C1 MPP: nontumor disease, i.e., herpes esophagitis with Cowdry A inclusions. C2 KH: nontumor disease, i.e., collagenous colitis showing thickened irregular subepithelial collagen table with entrapped fibroblasts, vessels, and inflammatory cells. C3 AM: low grade, i.e., pulmonary hamartoma showing entrapped clefts lined by respiratory epithelium. C4 RSS: low grade, i.e., leiomyoma showing nuclear palisading. We show IHC completeness but it is not included for machine learning. C5 BDS: malignant, i.e., breast cancer with apocrine differentiation. C6 LGP: malignant, i.e., relapsed gastric adenocarcinoma with diffuse growth throughout the anastomosis and colon. Gross sections (e.g., Fig. S3) shown for completeness but not used.
