Figure 8:
Borderline/atypical proliferative/low malignant potential mucinous tumor
with microinvasion. A small focus of infiltrative glands with moderate
to marked nuclear atypia is present within the stroma underlying a cystic
gland. The remainder of the tumor (not illustrated) was a borderline
tumor with intraepithelial carcinoma. Microinvasive tumor with this
higher-grade appearance might be considered microinvasive carcinoma
by some pathologists. Submitted
