Solid mammary adenocarcinoma: there are three morphologic types of neoplastic cells. First, at the periphery of the neoplasms, there are small clusters of large cells with a pale cytoplasm and an hypochromatic nucleus. Second, around the areas of liquefactive necrosis, neoplastic cells are small, with a condensed nucleus and a small amount of cytoplasm. Third, acounting for the majority of neoplastic cells, there is a population of medium-sized polygonal cells with indistinct cell borders, a moderate amount of strongly acidophilic cytoplasm, and a medium-sized central normochromatic nucleolus. |
