*Diffuse infiltrate composed of admixture of small, medium, or large and anaplastic cells.
*Cells have irregularly folded nuclei and moderate pale cytoplasm.
*Loss of mucosal glands.
*Angiocentric and angiodestructive growth pattern with coagulative necrosis.
*Usually see apoptotic cells and mitotic figures
