Mammary gland: this photomicrograph is centered on an interlobular mammary duct which is markedly ectatic and contains an inspissated proteinaceous fluid. The epithelium has a crowded appearance and has an increased mitotic rate compared to a normal ductal epithelium. However, epithelial cells do not pile-up. There is mild perialveolar and periductal fibrosis and pleocellular inflammation. |
