(47) Immunohistochemical stains can be employed in an attempt to highlight the presence of myoepithelial cells around displaced glands; however, these stains are typically only helpful when a myoepithelial cell layer is present, because staining may be attenuated or even absent in epithelial fragments that have undergone displacement (Figure 6, C).
