Diagnostic Performance of ATR-FTIR Spectroscopy in Discriminating Normal Breast Tissue and Breast Tumors

Caption

Haematoxylin and Eosin stained photomicrographs of (a) normal breast tissue section with lobules containing dark blue-stained acini nuclei (black arrow), separated by denser collagen fibers, compared with the stroma that separates the lobules ×400. (b) Breast lobules compressed into a slit-like shape (star-black arrow) due to excessive growth of the intervening stroma that separates the lobules (Fibroadenoma) ×400. (c) Cystic breast tissue with two large cysts (black arrow) filled with pink-staining amorphous material, lined by a single layer of epithelial cells ×400. (d) Invasive ductal carcinoma (Not Special Types).

This case was Nottingham grade II. Note the number of tubule formations, high pleomorphism, and mitotic figures in the picture ×400.
