Pure Mucinous Carcinoma of the Breast
Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a well differentiated, rare histological type of invasive ductal carcinoma, seen in oldest median age (69 years). We describe a case of a 60 yr old female with large right breast mass of 10 years duration with no nodal involvement. The reasons to present this case are 1) Because of its rarity. 2) Despite having a large tumour size, the axillary lymph node ...
متن کاملPrognostic Significance of a Micropapillary Pattern in Pure Mucinous Carcinoma of the Breast: Comparative Analysis with Micropapillary Carcinoma
BACKGROUND Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is an indolent tumors with a favorable prognosis; however, micropapillary features tend to lead to aggressive behavior. Thus, mucinous carcinoma and micropapillary carcinoma exhibit contrasting biologic behaviors. Here, we review invasive mucinous carcinoma with a focus on micropapillary features and correlations with clinicopathological factors. ME...
متن کاملMucinous Carcinoma of the Breast with Neuroendocrine Differentiation
Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a well-differentiated type of adenocarcinoma accounting for 2-5% of all breast cancers. Pure mucinous carcinoma of the breast has a favorable prognosis, usually seen in post-menopausal women. Neuroendocrine differentiation has been described in both in-situ and infiltrating breast cancers .Mucinous carcinomas of the breast appear to have the greatest associat...
متن کاملMicropapillary Variant of Urothelial Carcinoma
Micropapillary carcinoma (MPC) of urinary tract is an uncommon variant of urothelial carcinoma with significant diagnostic and prognostic implications. Though MPC shows characteristic microscopic features, there exists interobserver variability and also it needs to be differentiated from the metastasis from other organs. The prognosis is generally poor, depending on the proportion of the microp...
متن کاملCytologic Findings of Breast Mucinous Carcinoma with Micropapillary Pattern: Report of A Case and Literature Review
Mucinous lesions of the breast represent a broad spectrum of entities, which may pose a diagnostic challenge on fine-needle aspiration cytology. Mucinous carcinomas are so bland cytologically that they may be misdiagnosed as benign lesions, especially in cellpoor samples with ample mucin [1]. Assessment of cytologic details in conjunction with the radiological and clinical findings leads to a m...
