Explain of Breast Pathology

36.Colloid carcinoma, medium power microscopic

This variant of breast cancer is known as colloid, or mucinous, carcinoma. Note the abundant bluish mucin. The carcinoma cells appear to be floating in the mucin. This variant tends to occur in older women and is slower growing, and if it is the predominant histologic pattern present, then the prognosis is better than for non-mucinous, invasive carcinomas.
