Pathology Image Detail

Caption

Mammary gland: the cyst is mostly lined by a several (2-4) cells-thick epithelium (earlier stages of macrocysts are lined by a one cell-thick epithelium). In some areas, the epithelium has retained the one cell-thick appearance, which is typical of early stages of macrocysts. The neoplastic epithelium forms glands which are variably ectatic.
