Caption

Mammary gland: this photomicrograph illustrates an areas of epithelial to mesenchymal transition. There is gradual transition between cords and solid areas of neoplastic cells with an epithelial phenotype to bundles of neoplastic cells with a spindloid (= mesenchymal) phenotype. The interstitium of the neoplasm is infiltrated by a moderate number of neutrophils.
