Thank you for the consult. | |||
The sections show a well-circumscribed breast nodule that separates from the surrounding fibrous tissue. It has a pale pink staining, dense, cellular stroma that consists of cells with bland nuclear features. The epithelial component consists of a variable cell population with nuclei that are small and round to oval and do not have an easy-to-identify nucleolus. There are more than three cells above the basement membrane. Mitotic activity is seen focally. No atypical mitoses are identified. | |||
The surrounding breast parenchyma has small calcifications in benign epithelium, focal cystic glandular dilation and epithelium with a columnar cell morphology and apocrine snouts. There is a small focus of glands without significant mitotic activity, an increased epithelial component with slit-like spaces, and nuclei that are small and round to oval. | |||
