Fat emboli may be seen in the fine lymphatic system of the human breast. In the present study they are described ultrastructurally in 3 cases in the stroma adjacent to breast carcinomas. While the significance of the finding is obscure at present, it is pointed out that factors leading to the aggregation of chylomicrons can be expected to alter the chemical make-up of the lymph, and this may affect the subsequent behaviour of cancer cells in it.
