Metastatic Breast Carcinoma to lymph node

Metastatic Breast Carcinoma to lymph node •Portion of a lymph node, with a nest of metastatic breast tumor. •Note that the histology of the tumor resembles an infiltrating carcinoma of breast. •Note as well that the tumor is close to the capsule of the lymph node. •This is a common early site for implantation of metastatic tumors, since they enter the lymph node through afferent lymphatics which empty into the marginal sinus just below the capsule.
