Cross section of excised specimen for abnormal mammographic calcifications. The cystic lesion on the left side of the slide represents intraductal papilloma. On the right side of the papilloma is fibrous breast tissue, in which the presence of DCIS is confirmed microscopically. There is no lesion evident by gross examination. Without proper handling the specimen with black and red dyes indicating surgical margins, the involved margin may be accurately determined. |
