BREAST - Carcinoma

Description
The tumour, greyish-red in colour and circumscribed, occupies much of the breast tissue in the plane of the specimen. The tumour is extending upwards into the nipple, as shown on the reverse side of the specimen. The defect at the apex of the specimen may represent a biopsy area, although there is little in the way of surrounding haemorrhage to support this.
