Image of necrosis in the adrenal gland cortex from a female B6C3F1/N mouse in a subchronic study
Adrenal gland, Cortex - Necrosis in a female B6C3F1 mouse from a subchronic study. Diffuse cortical necrosis involves primarily the zona fasciculata.

Adrenal gland, Cortex - Necrosis in a female B6C3F1 mouse from a subchronic study (higher magnification of Figure 1). There is loss of cellular detail, fragmented cortical cells, and amorphous debris in the zona fasciculata (Ne).
