Atypical Hyperplasia

This is the most extreme case of ductal hyperplasia.

6.3 x   6.3 x
  Histobank ID #1670
The subgross image shows a cellular focus of coarse ductules below the ducts.
  Histobank ID #1671
The corresponding histologic slide shows the large cellular ductules.
 
25 x   63 x
  Histobank ID #1672
At higher magnification most of the spaces within the ductules are small and round.
  Histobank ID #1673
At higher magnification the more regular round spaces are seen to be surrounded by cells that still show some pleomorphism. This is DUCTAL HYPERPLASIA WITH ATYPIA (DHA). Not all criteria for carcinoma in-situ are present so it is a "borderline" lesion.
