Abstract
The histological appearances of the breast in a patient with mucoviscidosis are those of complete lobular agenesis. Ducts and ductules are well developed, and there is abundant fibrous tissue giving the breast a normal contour. The appearances are contrasted with those of gynaecomastia, and the aetiology is discussed.
