*Abundant breast stromal.
*Small, complex, inter-anastomosing (blood vessel/capillary-like) channels - '''key feature'''.
**''Pseudoangiomatous'' = blood vessel-like.
 
Notes:
*May mimic angiosarcoma at low power; PASH may have the same architecture but lack nuclear atypia.
 
DDx:
*[[Angiosarcoma]].
*[[Fibroadenoma]].
