    • Histologic changes may be seen in females.[1]

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Moderate hyperplasia.
    • Glands have more than 2 cell layers.
  • "Budding" - individual cells jut into the lumen - key feature.
    • Buds may be multicellular; however, narrower toward the centre of the lumen.
  • Stromal palor.[2]
