Hints for Slide ERG 15.  

Hopefully, you have noticed that the glandular tissue (inset) appears rather sparse in this specimen.  

In fact, it looks rather like a duct-tree without any active secretory tissue.

This is indeed inactive glandular tissue, embedded in a dense fibrous stroma with much adipose tissue.

No more hints.
