Abstract: | Slides from ten cases of infiltrating lobular and ten of in situ lobular breast cancer were studied with mucicarmine stain to determine the incidence of intracellular mucin in such cases. Nine of the ten infiltrating carcinomas and six of the ten in situ tumors contained such cells. None of the cases contained infiltrating duct or "colloid" carcinoma and none had in situ carcinoma of major ducts. |
