Caption

Glandular mammary adenocarcinoma: this photomicrograph represents the periphery of the neoplasm in an area where neoplastic cells form thin cords and are surrounded by a stroma that is more fibrous than in the rest of the neoplasm. This feature is common in mammary tumors arising in mice transgenic for Myc.
