Histopathology sections reveals a multi-nodular proliferation of neoplatic cells, infiltrating adipo-muscular tissue (a H&E. ×40). Variable architectural patterns are noted, including of papillary, cribriform, closely packed micro-cysts and tubules (b H&E. ×100). Micro-cysts and tubules contain abundant Periodic acid Schiff positive and diastase resistant bubbly secretions (c H&E. ×200). Tumor cells have eosinophilic and vacuolated cytoplasm with high N/C ratio, relatively monomorphic round vesicular nuclei and small distinctive nucleoli (d, e H&E. ×400). Foci of high-grade features, including desmoplastic stromal reaction, and perineural invasion are noted (f H&E. ×200)
