**Two cell populations:
#Glands 2x normal (peripheral zone) glands.
**#Obviously malignant cells with enlarged nuclei, granular chromatin, hyperchromasia and nucleoli.
#Basal cell present (proven by IHC).
**#Cells with pale cytoplasm and smaller nuclei.
#"Cytologically malignant cells" = nuclear hyperchromasia, nuclear enlargement, nucleoli.
#Fills the lumen ("expansile") but does not have to be "solid".
#*Solid = no spaces between the cells.
 
Additional (major) criterium:<ref name=pmid22692290/>
*Comedo[[necrosis]].
 
====Minor criteria====
Minor criteria:<ref name=pmid22692290/>
#Branching of ducts at right angles.
#Rounded/smooth gland outlines.
#Two cell populations:
#*Enlarge nuclei with hyperchromasia and nucleoli (malignant) = peripheral.
#*Smaller nuclei, no nucleoli (benign) = central.
