Dutch term or phrase: klierbuizen

In a pathology report (microscopy) about fragments from polyps in a gynaecological context:
"De klierbuizen liggen vrij ver uit elkaar en vertonen een wisseling in hun doormeter."
Any help with the first half of the sentence, and particularly 'klierbuizen' would be much appreciated.

glandular tubes

Explanation:
Says my completely unmedical background...But I cannot imagine that klier is something to be found in all too much professional literature

As Marlou points out below: Glandular tubules is at least a more medical term.
