Tumors in different mammary glands are described in case 7a and b. Immunostaining is indicated as positive (+), strongly positive (+++), weakly positive (±), or negative (−). When an immunophenotype was not determined, the space is left blank. 

(ER) estrogen receptor; (PR) progesterone receptor; (cD1) cyclin D1; (int.) intermediate; (DCIS) ductal carcinoma in situ; (HAN) hyperplastic alveolar nodule.
