Diagnosis – (Emended after translation from the original German; after Radtke, 1991, p. 70.) Boring characterized by a complex network of predominantly curved to highly contorted or straight tubules that are either branched or unbranched. Constriction along the tubules and tiering of the tubules may or may not occur.
