Ductal Carcinoma 87

Figure 4.2. Ductal carcinoma. Higher magnification shows markedly

pleomorphic malignant cells in a loose cluster. Background shows

granular necrosis and a few macrophages. Follow-up biopsy revealed

ductal carcinoma in situ, comedo type (Smear, Papanicolaou.)

Figure 4.3. Ductal carcinoma. A fragment of pleomorphic malignant

cells in a background of prominent necrosis. Numerous single

malignant cells are seen as well. Follow-up biopsy revealed ductal

carcinoma in situ, comedo type. However, a distinction from infiltrating

ductal carcinoma could not have been possible with fineneedle

aspiration. (Smear, Diff-Quik.)
