Granulomatous Lobular Mastopathy - evolution of the lesion
Clinically suspicious breast lump in a 40 year old female
Low and medium power views showing intense lobulocentric chronic inflammation - 'Mouse over' - green arrow points at epithelium of TDLU, blue arrow to cluster of giant cells within lumen - probably an early phase of the lesion
Detail of lobulocentric inflammatory focus above with luminal giant cells
Further evolution of the process with loss of lobular units, chronic inflammation and giant cells (arrows)
End stage focus with complete loss of lobular eoithelium, fibrosis and scattered giant cells (mouse over)
