Prognostic 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 کاملPure 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 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...
متن کاملMyoepithelial carcinoma with contralateral invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast
Adenomyoepithelioma (AME) is a rare benign tumor composed of myoepithelial cells (MECs) which are located beneath the epithelial cells of exocrine glands, especially in breast and salivary glands. These tumor cells show biphasic proliferation of epithelial and MECs. Malignant AME is characterized by distant metastasis, local recurrence, cytologic atypia, high mitotic activity and infiltrating t...
