Abstract

Intracytoplasmic and stromal eosinophilic hyaline globules (HGs) have been observed in various neoplastic and nonneoplastic conditions. Thanatosomes are also such HGs seen invariably associated with increased apoptosis and may contain nuclear fragments, occasionally observed in high-grade tumors. We are reporting a case of high-grade breast carcinoma with this striking morphological feature. Their probable nature, pathogenesis, and significance are discussed with review of literature.
