Scale bar is 50 μm. c Immunohistochemical examination revealed that the tumor cells were positive for ER. Scale bar is 50 μm. d The primary breast cancer was an invasive ductal carcinoma. Scale bar is 50 μm. e Immunohistochemical examination revealed that the tumor cells of the primary breast cancer were positive for ER. Scale bar is 50 μm. f Comparison between metastatic tumor cells (cystic duct) and primary breast cancer cells on immunohistochemical examinationBack to article page
