I am quite sure that some people (many??) have given a grde 5 on that. There is lots of 4, on the borders you have these weird glands, where you don't know whether it is 5 or not, I admit that I give 5 rarely, I think these are just tangential cuts of badly formed galnds. And there are still some 3 easily recognizable elements; In a bad day I might go up to 8

Case description (by case creator):

The tumor is dominated by GP4 with mainly cribriform and fused glands but also some poorly formed glands. There is also a component of GP5 with single cells and indian files. These cells occupy an area that can be seen already at 10x. The GP5 component looks immature but is not suspicious for small cell carcinoma.
