Caption

Hyperplasia and squamous metaplasia, mammary gland: this photomicrograph illustrates an area of transition between an area of hyperplasia of the mammary gland (on the left) and an area of squamous metaplasia (on the right). A raft of ghost epithelial cells (*) and multinucleated epithelial cells (arrowhead) are present. A few nuclei have an apical location instead of a basal location, a feature consistent with dysplasia.
