One form is referred to as carcinoma of the axillary tail of Spence (CATS). Various studies have calculated CATS as representing 0.1-1% of breast cancers. [11] [9] These cancers may actually represent de novo tumors forming in the anatomically separate axillary breast mounds that were previously thought to be tail-like extensions of the primary ...
For breast pathology, also in distinguishing usual ductal hyperplasia (UDH) and papillary lesions (having a mosaic-like pattern) from ductal carcinoma in situ, which is usually negative. [1] Cyclin D1 and CK5/6 staining could be used in concert to distinguish between the diagnosis of papilloma (Cyclin D1 < 4.20%, CK 5/6 positive) or papillary ...
Although tubular carcinoma has been considered a special-type tumor, [a] recent trend has been to classify it as a low-grade, invasive NOS carcinoma because there is a continuous spectrum from pure tubular carcinomas to mixed NOS [b] carcinomas with tubular features, depending on the percentage of the lesion that displays tubular features.
Usual ductal hyperplasia (UDH) is a benign lesion of the breast wherein cells look very similar to normal. It is a spectrum of changes that can range from minimal stratification of cells to proliferations that are just short of atypical ductal hyperplasia .
Atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) is the term used for a benign lesion of the breast that indicates an increased risk of breast cancer. [1]The name of the entity is descriptive of the lesion; ADH is characterized by cellular proliferation (hyperplasia) within one or two breast ducts and (histomorphologic) architectural abnormalities, i.e. the cells are arranged in an abnormal or atypical way ...
