Hyaline globules, also hyaline bodies, are a common non-specific histomorphologic feature that can be useful in formulating a differential diagnosis.

They can be seen in benign and malignant tissue.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Eosinophilic (pink) round bodies ~ typically 4-10 micrometers in diameter.

Benign

  • Ectopic decidua.[1]

Tumours
