Intraductal Carcinoma (Low Power)
Intraductal Carcinoma (Low Power)

This is a low power view of a form of ductal carcinoma in situ.
The arrows point to inspissated secretions, which may calcify.
The secretions are not the same as necrosis.
The diagnosis of DCIS cannot be made at this power for this pattern ("clinging") of intraductal disease.
