Pathology Image Detail

Caption

Mammary gland: mammary lobules are prominent and, although they do not form discrete masses, they contain a proteinaceous fluid and are composed of cuboidal cells with prominent lipid vacuoles. There are least two possible interpretations to this photomicrograph: these alveoli may represent early stages of hyperplastic alveolar nodules, or they may indicate pregnancy.
