Test 2 - Breast Images Flashcards
Normal epithelial cells
Small cohesive groups
Monolayer sheets
Occasional complete terminal duct-lobular units
Nuclei are oval with regular outlines, 8-10µm diameter
Inconspicuous nucleoli
Evenly dispersed chromatin pattern
Scanty delicate cytoplasm
Benign
Cellular
Epithelial fragments occur as large/flat/monolayered sheets
Some ‘fingerlike’ projections (similar to that seen in FA)
There is a bimodal pattern of single bare/bipolar nuclei in background
Adipose tissue may be present
Moderate nuclear variation and atypia may be seen
Seen only in males
Gynaecomastia
Cohesive sheets of benign ductal cells arranged in flat honeycomb sheets, no loss of polarity with distinct cell borders
May have cystic bg, may be clean
Bare myoepithelial nuclei present
Apocrine cells
Cystic/foamy macrophages (not as many as benign cyst)
