Pathology Image Detail

Caption

Mammary gland: the mammary gland is markedly diffusely enlarged by hyperplastic acini and ducts. Cells in these areas do not pile-up and do not show atypia. In addition, there is prominent abrupt cornification (C) in the lumen of a moderate number of ducts and acini, resulting in the formation of large rafts of "ghost" cells.
