Pancreatic cancer metastasised to the liver

 * Reason:An extremely valuable image. These sorts of teaching materials are relatively rare, since they necessarily require permission to show a dead person's organs to the world. It's from 2002, cameras weren't perfect back then, but the sheer rarity of such images makes up for the flaws.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Metastasis, Metastatic liver disease, Pancreatic cancer, Liver tumor

 * Comment - This is certainly an interesting piece. But I can't help but notice a line at the bottom right go down from purple to grey. GamerPro64  22:10, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Hm. I'd imagine the grey is the edge of a tray, the purple... Well, older digital cameras could be a little weird. I think that was a common effect of light hitting the lens from the side. Could be wrong. Anyway! We could easily crop it or even retouch it away, since it's nowhere near the actual liver. Adam Cuerden (talk) 22:25, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Whoever wrote "I don't normally believe in censoring on FPC, but I think autopsied tumours might be a little much." - did you consider the fact that FPs usually are featured on the front page - shall it be hidden there, too? ;-) --Janke | Talk 09:35, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
 * We can deal with that later. There was consensus to run the smallpox FP, and this is not even in the same ballpark as that one. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:13, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
 * FPC noms are up for about two weeks. That's a long time for anyone upset with them, and actively trying to work on the FPC page. I'd say there are many things, like this, that should be on the main page, but not on an active workspace like here. Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:04, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
 * OOT, but for potentially controversial POTD images I generally allow a month of discussion. Such discussion supported the smallpox image, but was against our FP of Michele Merkin going on the main page. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 19:12, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Support Not technically the best image, but we don't really have much of this kind of material, and we need it. Samsara 17:24, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
