EGBD. a CCSC is condensed and forms compact nests with hyperchromatic nuclei and little or no cytoplasm. b MCIP is composed of metaplastic cells showing thick eosinophilic cytoplasm and the rounded nucleus with slight swelling. Some irregular small projection figures are seen from the margins of cell clumps. c MCIP-containing condensed stromal clusters are accompanied by condensed stromal clusters into cell clumps (indicated by white arrows). d LGB; this is a light green-stained extracellular substance observed in CCSC and in the background: a nonuniform granular pattern or fiber pattern form was respectively recognized in samples containing LGBs.
