Pathology Image Detail

Caption

Mammary gland: the mammary gland is effaced and expanded by a large, nodular, encapsulated, well-delineated, densely cellular neoplasm. This neoplasm is composed of coalescing trabeculae supported by a moderate amount of hyalinized fibrovascular stroma. This photomicrograph illustrates a portion of the neoplasm where a few glands are formed. Some glands are mildly ectatic. A few adipocytes have been entrapped in the neoplasm.

Description

Adenocarcinoma, solid, with secondary lumens, mammary gland

Age at Necropsy

330 days

Notes

This neoplasm arose in a mouse that was bitransgenic for Tgfa and Notch4. The phenotype of this neoplasm is consistent with that of a neoplasm arising in a mouse transgenic for Notch4.
