Pathology Image Detail

Caption

Mammary gland: the mammary gland is effaced by a nodular, unencapsulated, expensile, densely cellular neoplasm. This neoplasm is composed of solid areas of epithelial neoplastic cells supported by a scant amount of fibrovascular stroma. Neoplastic cells are medium-sized, polygonal, often with distinct cell borders, and a moderate amount of strongly amphophilic cytoplasm. The nucleus is central, medium-sized and slightly hyperchromatic. Anisokaryosis and anisocytosis are mild.
