 There are three nests of tubules, representing three glands. The nest in the 

 upper part of the field is normal. The tubules in the nest in the centre of the 

 field are lined by cuboidal cells and some segments show some degenerative 

 changes. The tubules in the nest at the bottom of the field have a very flat 

 epithelium. Stained with toluidine blue buffered to pH 5-0.

 of a 74-year-old woman. The epithelium in nearly every tubule was cuboidal 



or low columnar.
