Resolution: standard / high Figure 2.
Histological findings of the tumor. a. The tumor was encapsulated but extracapsular invasion was partially observed. Papillary-cystic
proliferation was observed within the tumor. Hematoxylin eosin (HE) stain, loupe.
b. The tumor cells exhibit markedly papillary proliferation with a cribriform pattern.
Comedonecrosis is not observed. HE stain, original magnification ×100. c. Thickened basement membranes were observed around the tumor cell nest. PAS reaction,
×400. d. Cuboidal tumor cells lining cystic spaces have eosinophilic cytoplasm and exhibit
an apocrine-like appearance with decapitation. HE stain, ×400. e. Apocrine-like tumor cells have cytoplasmic PAS-positive/diastase-resistant granules.
PAS reaction with diastase digestion, ×400. f. The tumor cells phagocytose hemosiderin in the vicinity of hemorrhage. HE stain,
×400. g. Some tumor cells have foamy cytoplasm similar to sebaceous cells. HE stain, ×400.
h. Cords and tubules of the tumor infiltrate the stroma with sclerosis. HE stain, ×200.
