Background: Papillary tumours of the breast are diagnostically challenging lesions and represent a wide spectrum of diseases from papilloma to invasive papillary carcinoma. A rare subtype of breast papillary tumour resembling the tall cell variant of thyroid papillary carcinoma (BTRTPC) has been described. The nomenclature of this entity, its relationship to other papillary tumours, and its nature, whether in situ or invasive, remain unclear. Methods: Seventy-five papillary carcinomas (PCs) of the breast previously diagnosed in routine practice were reviewed and the presence of features (n = 10) characteristic of BTRTPC were assessed to determine whether BTRTPC comprises a distinct entity or is part of the spectrum of the previously defined PC variants. Results: Nuclear overlapping and eosinophilic granular cytoplasm were seen in 81 and 75% of the cases, whereas nuclear grooves, nuclear clearing, and tall cells were noticed in 51, 42, and 38% of the cases, respectively; 27% of the cases showed macro- and micro-follicular architecture filled with colloid-like material. Five cases (7%) lacked oestrogen receptor (ER) expression. Co-existing invasive carcinoma was seen in 25 cases (33%). Two cases displayed several features characteristic of BTRTPC, and both were ER-negative. Conclusion: Features characteristic of BTRTPC overlap with other PCs of the breast. Molecular and immunohistochemical biomarkers are needed to provide objective diagnostic criteria for the characterisation of such lesions in routine practice.

类似于甲状腺乳头状癌高细胞变异体的乳腺肿瘤:它们是乳头状癌谱系的一部分还是一个独特的实体?

背景:乳腺乳头状肿瘤在诊断上具有挑战性,代表了从乳头状瘤到浸润性乳头状癌的广泛疾病。已经描述了一种罕见的乳腺乳头状肿瘤亚型,类似于甲状腺乳头状癌的高细胞变异体 (BTRTPC)。该实体的命名、它与其他乳头状肿瘤的关系以及它的性质,无论是原位还是侵袭性,仍不清楚。方法:回顾了先前在常规实践中诊断出的 75 例乳房乳头状癌 (PC),并评估了 BTRTPC 的特征 (n = 10) 的存在,以确定 BTRTPC 是否包含一个独特的实体或属于之前定义的 PC 变体。结果:81% 和 75% 的病例可见核重叠和嗜酸性粒状细胞质,而分别在 51%、42% 和 38% 的病例中观察到核沟、核透明和高细胞;27% 的病例显示出充满胶体样物质的宏观和微观毛囊结构。五例 (7%) 缺乏雌激素受体 (ER) 表达。在 25 例 (33%) 中观察到共存的浸润性癌。两个病例显示出 BTRTPC 的几个特征,并且均为 ER 阴性。结论:BTRTPC 的特征特征与乳房的其他 PC 重叠。在常规实践中,需要分子和免疫组织化学生物标志物来为表征此类病变提供客观的诊断标准。和 38% 的案件,分别;27% 的病例显示出充满胶体样物质的宏观和微观毛囊结构。五例 (7%) 缺乏雌激素受体 (ER) 表达。在 25 例 (33%) 中观察到共存的浸润性癌。两个病例显示出 BTRTPC 的几个特征,并且均为 ER 阴性。结论:BTRTPC 的特征特征与乳房的其他 PC 重叠。在常规实践中,需要分子和免疫组织化学生物标志物来为表征此类病变提供客观的诊断标准。和 38% 的案件,分别;27% 的病例显示出充满胶体样物质的宏观和微观毛囊结构。五例 (7%) 缺乏雌激素受体 (ER) 表达。在 25 例 (33%) 中发现并存的浸润性癌。两个病例显示出 BTRTPC 的几个特征,并且均为 ER 阴性。结论:BTRTPC 的特征特征与乳房的其他 PC 重叠。在常规实践中,需要分子和免疫组织化学生物标志物来为表征此类病变提供客观的诊断标准。两个病例显示出 BTRTPC 的几个特征,并且均为 ER 阴性。结论:BTRTPC 的特征特征与乳房的其他 PC 重叠。在常规实践中,需要分子和免疫组织化学生物标志物来为表征此类病变提供客观的诊断标准。两个病例显示出 BTRTPC 的几个特征,并且均为 ER 阴性。结论:BTRTPC 的特征特征与乳房的其他 PC 重叠。在常规实践中,需要分子和免疫组织化学生物标志物来为表征此类病变提供客观的诊断标准。
