A breast tumour with proven lymph node metastasis is conclusively characterized as an adenoid cystic carcinoma using immunocytochemistry and electron microscopy. The majority of tumour cells showed certain of the characteristic features of myoepithelial cells while the pseudocystic spaces contained large amounts of reduplicated basal lamina. A small proportion of tumour cells, however, showed epithelial differentiation with the formation of true lumina.
经证实有淋巴结转移的乳腺肿瘤,通过免疫细胞化学和电子显微镜检查最终被鉴定为腺样囊性癌。大多数肿瘤细胞表现出肌上皮细胞的某些特征,而假囊腔中含有大量重复的基底膜。然而,一小部分肿瘤细胞表现出上皮分化并形成真正的管腔。
