Histopathologic types of breast cancer, with relative incidences and prognoses, with "mucinous (colloid) carcinoma" at right. Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a form of mucinous carcinoma and a breast cancer type. It is a rare form of breast cancer that accounts for 2% of breast carcinomas and most commonly occurs in postmenopausal women ...
When found within the skin, mucinous carcinoma is commonly a round, elevated, reddish, and sometimes ulcerated mass, usually located on the head and neck. [ 2 ] : 669 Mucinous carcinoma of the breast : Gross pathology (upper left) of mucinous carcinoma shows gelatinous areas.
The grading of a cancer in the breast depends on the microscopic similarity of breast cancer cells to normal breast tissue, and classifies the cancer as well differentiated (low-grade), moderately differentiated (intermediate-grade), and poorly differentiated (high-grade), reflecting progressively less normal appearing cells that have a ...
Histopathology of tubular carcinoma, high magnification, H&E stain. It shows the typical features of tubules lined by a single layer of cuboidal to columnar epithelial cells with small to intermediate sized nuclei low grade nuclei and sparse mitoses (grade 1). [1] Tubular carcinoma is a subtype of invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast. [2] [3 ...
Grading in cancer is distinguished from staging, which is a measure of the extent to which the cancer has spread. Pathology grading systems classify the microscopic cell appearance abnormality and deviations in their rate of growth with the goal of predicting developments at tissue level (see also the 4 major histological changes in dysplasia ).
Medullary breast carcinoma is a rare type of breast cancer [1] that is characterized as a relatively circumscribed tumor [2] with pushing, rather than infiltrating, margins. It is histologically characterized as poorly differentiated cells with abundant cytoplasm and pleomorphic high grade vesicular nuclei. [ 3 ]

The Nottingham prognostic index (NPI) is used to determine prognosis following surgery for breast cancer. [1] [2] Its value is calculated using three pathological criteria: the size of the tumour; the number of involved lymph nodes; and the grade of the tumour. [1] It is calculated to select patients for adjuvant treatment.
