Definition and measurement of ENE and evaluation of DR, TILs, and TB at ENE. a Diameters of the extent of ENE and tumor deposits were recorded as the widest length of the dissected lymph nodes of the same patients (H&E staining, × 15). b, c The ENE region shows immature stroma, low-grade TILs, and nine budding areas (arrows: budding) (H&E staining, b, × 100; c, × 400). DR, desmoplastic reaction; ENE, extranodal extension; H&E, hematoxylin and eosin; TB, tumor budding; TILs, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes
