In these cases thereis relatively Uttle glandular parenchyma, though what is found resembles that seen inthe other cases. It is interesting to note that the enlargement of the glandular tubules and the oc-currence of spaces lined by cuboidal epithelium are not a little like the changes seen incases of the disturbance known as chronic cystic mastitis or abnormal involution.
