Hints for Slide ERG 19.  

Small patches of stroma are most noticable due to the many small cells with dense round nuclei that comprise the abnormal inflammatory infiltrate.  However, notice that each patch also typically contains several other elements, including fibrous connective tissue, a vein, a smaller arteriole, and a duct (lined by cuboidal epithelium).

Although the cuboidal parenchymal cells may at first appear packed closely together without order, notice on closer inspection that each of these cells is (typically) closely adjacent to neighboring cells on two sides and separated from nearby cells on its other surfaces sides (with small spaces in between).

No more hints.
