The nucleolus (/ nj uː ˈ k l iː ə l ə s, ˌ nj uː k l i ˈ oʊ l ə s /; pl.: nucleoli /-l aɪ /) is the largest structure in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. [1] It is best known as the site of ribosome biogenesis. The nucleolus also participates in the formation of signal recognition particles and plays a role in the cell's response to ...
The megakaryoblast has a high nucleus to cytoplasm ratio with a nucleus that may be 3 to 5 times the size of the cytoplasm. The nucleus is generally oval, kidney shaped or lobed. Several nucleoli are visible, along with loose chromatin. [10] The chromatin may vary from cell to cell, ranging from fine to heavy and dense.
Grade 1: Inconspicuous and basophilic nucleoli at magnification of 400 times; Grade 2: Clearly visible and eosinophilic nucleoli at magnification of 400 times; Grade 3: Clearly visible nucleoli at magnification of 100 times; Grade 4: Extreme pleomorphism or rhabdoid and/or sarcomatoid morphology
The nucleoli it contains is usually distinct. [6] One to four nucleoli are usually visible. The nucleus can be central or eccentric and it can show evidence of indentation or folding. The cytoplasm stains moderately to lightly basophilic and may contain small azurophilic granules.
The location of NORs and the nucleolar cycle in human cells. Nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) are chromosomal regions crucial for the formation of the nucleolus.In humans, the NORs are located on the short arms of the acrocentric chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22, the genes RNR1, RNR2, RNR3, RNR4, and RNR5 respectively.

Low magnification (left image) shows similar gland outline as the normal surrounding glands. However, high magnification (right image) shows the key feature of prominent nucleoli (visible at 200x magnification to make the diagnosis of "high-grade"), as well as other typical features of HGPIN. Reference for features:
Papillary renal cell carcinoma type 1, grade 2: Nucleoli (one annotated by arrows) are conspicuous and eosinophilic at 400 magnification and visible but not prominent at 100 magnification. The WHO/ISUP system is histological tumor grading system for renal cell carcinoma, suggested by the International Society of Urologic Pathologists (ISUP) in ...
