The commonest histological tumour type was an infiltrating ductal carcinoma (NOS), constituting 90.4 pc of all the tumours. Twenty five tumours (5.9 pc) had mucinous histological appearance. There were only four (0.9 pc), intraductal carcinomas. Fifty three pc of all the tumours had a high grade histology (grade III).
