22
Q

Firm, fibrous, “rock-hard” mass with sharp margins and small, glandular, duct-like cells

A

Invasive ductal breast cancer

23
Q

Stellate infiltration

A

Invasive ductal breast cancer; worst and most invasive type

A

Invasive lobular breast cancer

25
Q

Fleshy, cellular, lymphocytic (plasma) infiltrate

A

Medullary breast cancer; good prognosis
