Pathology Image Detail

Caption

Solid mammary carcinoma (area of epithelial to mesenchymal transition): most spindloid cells of the area of epithelial to mesenchymal transition show strong cytoplasmic labeling for keratins 8/18. Neoplastic cells with an epithelial phenotype weakly label for keratins 8/18.
