Breast cancer 2
This is a slice of a mastectomy specimen (surgical removal of a breast) showing a typical breast cancer (here, an invasive ductal carcinoma).
The appearance of this tumour is classical. I used it to illustrate the (probable) origin of the name "cancer" in the Wikipedia page for this disease: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer
