Aspiration cytology of neuroblastoma: light microscopy with transmission and scanning electron microscopic correlations.

abstract：:Breast disease is of great concern to patients and health care providers alike. Malignancies of the breast and their various presentations can pose tremendous challenges with respect to early diagnosis and effective treatment. Carcinoma of the breast may appear in several forms and produce one or more ectopic substanc...
