Caption |
Mammary gland: hyperplasia, squamous metaplasia with the formation or large rafts of "ghost" epithelial cells, interstitial fibrosis, and interstitial lymphocytic and plasmacytic inflammation are prominent in this mammary lobule. In addition, a few neutrophils have transmigrated through the metaplastic mammary epithelium and are intermingled with the cornified debris that often expand the lumen of mammary acini. |
