Pathology Image Detail

Caption

Type P tumor: immunolabelling for keratin 6 is restricted to the suprabasal cells in the areas of ductal differentiation (towards the center of the neoplasm). The fronds of neoplastic cells which mimic terminal end buds of the developing mammary gland do not label for keratin 6.

Description

Type P tumor, mammary gland

Age at Necropsy
