I am in research this week and have time to review all people's discussion this morning. Thank Drs Huang, Abin, and Quyibl for your great translation, and all of people who joined the discussion and review in this subject.
From the publications (see above) of Dr. Rosen and Sharon Wess, world-famous soft tissue experts (of cause it does not mean what they mentioned are always right), we know the basic fact that the term of atypical vascular lesions in breast is accepted among pathologists world-wild.
Why do we discuss some cases in the web? The only reason is to share with others or to learn from others. If I signed out my true cases for malignant I do not care others in the internet to call bengin or malignant. It is the same you signed your cases as benign or maligant, you do not need to care some people in the internet to have the different diagnosis. When you sign your cases and release the reports, you have the responsiblity for your professonal job, patients, families, and hospitals, but others in the internet have not any responsibility.
Frankly speaking I will not agree to co-sign any case in the true world based on a few photos in the internet.
Ki67: Based on Rosen' paper published in 1992 ki67 seems to have some meaning for distinguishment of some breast vascular lesions, especially for benign vs. atypical vascular lesions or atypical lesions vs. low grade hemagiosarcoma. However it may be no use for some classic angiosarcoma even for typical low grade angiosarcoma.
In fact I asked Dr. Christoper Fletcher, Director of surgical pathology, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School (famous soft tissue pathologist), about his oppinion about ki67 in the dx of breast vascular lesions. He said they never use ki67 for breast vascular lesions in Brigham and Women's Hospital.
Ok, I complete this topic and final discussion.
Thank all of you again. cz
Above is the full report and comment in this case. You can use as your reference in your daily case.
What did I learn from this case? be cautious when you sign out your cases especially for some difficult case. Always think what procedure the clinicians will do next based on our pathology dx.
I feel very happy I changed my breast core biopsy dx from angiosarcoma to atypical vascular lesion. If I called angiosarcoma in core bx, patient would have mastectomy, instead of segment mastectomy. I will feel bad for myself and also for the patient. This may be a law-suit case due to my over call in core bx.
Wish every one knows that our pathology jobs are important, great, but dangerous.
以上是本例的完整报告。你可以在日常工作中作为参考。
我从本例中学到什么?签发报告要小心,尤其是一些疑难病例。总是要考虑到,根据你的报告,临床将会如何处理。
我很高兴,把乳腺粗针穿刺活检的报告从血管肉瘤改成了不典型血管病变。如果我在粗针活检时报血管肉瘤,患者将要切除乳房,而不是乳腺区段切除。我会对自己也对患者感到不爽。这也可能因为我在粗针活检时的过诊断而成为诉讼病例。
希望所有人知道,我们病理工作重要、伟大,但危险。(abin译)
My collequre released the case as:
A. Atypical hemangioma.
B. Mass measures 5 mm.
C. Surgical margins are negative for the tumor; closest margin is 7 mm from the tumor.
D. Surrounding breast tissue showing sclerosing adenosis and lactational-type change.
E. Biopsy site change.
F. Skin, negative for neoplasm.
Comment:
This atypical vascular lesion is well circumscribed and demonstrates no infiltration into surrounding breast parenchyma. Although cytologic atypia is present, mitotic activity is not evident and a stain for Ki67 does not show increased staining beyond what could be expected in the setting of prvious biopsy and fibrin thrombi. Clinical experience with this entity is limited, but at least one study deminstrated benign clinical behavior following excional biopsy (reference: Am J Surg Pathol, 1992, 16(6):553-560).
Previous core biopsy diagnosis of atypical vascular lesion is noted and the slides were reviewed (case No xxxx).
Dr. XXXXX has reviewed the representative slides and agrees with above interpretaiton.
The case was discussed with surgeon Dr. xxxx at xx o'clock on month/day/2009.

本例,我的同事签发的报告如下:
A.不典型血管瘤。
B.肿块大小5mm。
C.手术切缘阴性,肿瘤距最近切缘7mm。
D.周围乳腺组织呈硬化性腺病和泌乳性改变》。
E.活检后改变。
F.皮肤无肿瘤。
注:
这个不典型血管病变界限清楚,未见浸润周围乳腺间质。尽管有细胞学不典型性,但核分裂活性不明显,且除以前活检部位和血栓周围外,Ki67染色并不增高。对本病变的临床经验有限,但至少有一个研究表现了切除活栓后呈良性的临床行为(reference: Am J Surg Pathol, 1992, 16(6):553-560)。
注意到以前的粗针活检诊断为不典型血管病变,并复习了原切片(病例号XXXX)。
Dr. XXXXX复习了切片并同意以上分析。
本例与外科医生Dr. xxxx讨论过(年月日时……)。
Dr. bzlixinjun and abin's interpretation is excellent. Thank you. Just wonder if Dr bzlixinjun is working in China or other countries.
This patient had excisional biopsy. My colleague has the case. He showed me the case today. I will let you know how we sign out the excisional biopsy specimen.

to Dr.zhao and Dr.Njwbhuang, 为了保持本贴的连贯完整,我整理了本贴的部分内容,主要是把翻译的中文内容直接粘贴到原贴后面了。事先未征求二位同意为歉!__abin
This is another good paper from Dr. Weiss (author of the Book- soft tissue tumors), I pasted in another topic already
Am J Surg Pathol. 2008 Jun;32(6):943-50.
Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA. We report the clinicopathologic study of 32 cases of atypical vascular lesions (AVLs) after surgery and radiation of the breast, which were referred to us in consultation over a 17-year period. The patients, all women, ranged in age from 41 to 95 years (mean 61 y). The lesions developed within the radiation field from 1 to 12 years (median 6.0 y) after therapy. They occurred as one (n=18) or more (n=10) flesh-colored papules or erythematous patches/plaques ranging in size from 1 to 60 mm (mean 8.0 mm, median 4.0 mm). Tumors could be divided into 2 histologic types: a lymphatic type (LT) (n=22) and a vascular type (VT) (n=10). LT AVLs consisted predominantly of thin-walled, variably anastomosing lymphatic vessels that were usually confined to the superficial dermis but occasionally extended into the deep dermis and even subcutis. The VT (n=10) typically consisted of small, irregularly dispersed, often blood-filled, pericyte-invested, capillary-sized vessels involving the superficial or deep dermis. VTs were often associated with extravasated erythrocytes, hemosiderin, and a surrounding minor LT component. In 4 cases, endothelial atypia, consisting of nuclear and nucleolar enlargement, was noted. Follow-up of 21 patients with LT AVLs (1 to 106 mo; mean 47 mo) disclosed recurrence/additional lesions in 6, all of whom had additional surgery. Of the 21 patients, 17 are alive without disease, 1 is alive with disease, 1 died of breast carcinoma, 1 died of unknown causes, and 1 showed progressive histologic changes in the AVLs over a period of 5 years resulting in a well-differentiated angiosarcoma. Follow-up in 8 patients with VT AVL (2 to 181 mo; mean 40 mo) disclosed that 6 were alive and well, but 2 of the 4 patients whose lesions displayed endothelial atypia had additional complications. One patient underwent a mastectomy that revealed extensive residual AVL and the second developed a high-grade angiosarcoma after 14 months. We conclude that AVLs encompass a wider spectrum of changes than previously appreciated, ranging from superficial lymphatic proliferations to more complex lymphatic and capillary vascular lesions. There seems to be an association of AVL with angiosarcoma that differs depending on the histologic features, with the VT AVLs having the higher risk. In the 2 patients who developed angiosarcoma, morphologic evidence suggested AVLs to be a precursor rather than simply a risk factor. Future outcome and management studies should take into account these differences.Atypical vascular lesions after surgery and radiation of the breast: a clinicopathologic study of 32 cases analyzing histologic heterogeneity and association with angiosarcoma.

Primary angiosarcoma of the breast: clinicopathologic analysis of 49 cases, suggesting that grade is not prognostic.
49例乳腺原发性血管肉瘤临床病理分析表明肿瘤分级和预后无关联Nascimento AF, Raut CP, Fletcher CD.
Department of Pathology, Brigham and Women's Hospital,
Mammary angiosarcoma is a rare neoplasm, accounting for about 0.05% of all primary malignancies of the breast. It is currently believed that histologic grading of mammary angiosarcomas plays an important role in prognostication. Forty-nine cases of primary angiosarcoma of the breast were retrieved from our files. Clinical details and follow-up information were obtained from referring pathologists and clinicians, and by chart review. All statistics were performed using Fisher exact test and only P<0.05 was considered significant. Recurrence-free survival and overall survival curves were established using Statistica software version 5.5 (StatSoft Inc). All patients were female with ages ranging from 15 to 74 years (mean 41.5, median 40). Peak incidence was between the ages of 30 and 50 years. All tumors examined were located within breast parenchyma with or without minor cutaneous involvement. The right side was more commonly affected than the left side (66% vs. 29.5%). Tumor was bilateral at presentation in 2 cases (4.5%). Tumor size varied from 0.7 to 25 cm (mean 6.7, median 5). Most patients presented with a palpable, painless mass. Two patients had a history of prior radiation treatment for breast carcinoma. Histologically, primary tumors were graded using Rosen's 3-tier system: 17 tumors (35.4%) as low grade, 17 (35.4%) as intermediate grade, and 14 (29.2%) as high grade. Forty-six patients were treated surgically, 11 underwent chemotherapy, and 12 patients received radiotherapy. Follow-up was available in 41 patients (83.7%, median duration 29 mo). Ten patients (24.4%) showed evidence of local recurrence within 11 to 60 months (median 36) after diagnosis. Twenty-four patients (58.5%) thus far have developed metastases, which were most commonly to lung, liver, skin, and bone. Time interval between diagnosis and metastasis ranged from 2 to 144 months (median 34). Eighteen patients (44%) so far have died of disease and 1 died of presumably disseminated breast carcinoma. Five patients (12.2%) are alive with disease and 15 patients (36.6%) are alive with no evidence of disease. Statistical analysis evaluating correlation between tumor grade and size, and rate of local recurrence, metastasis, and death owing to disease showed no significant difference among tumors of different grades. The median recurrence-free and overall survival rates for the entire cohort were 2.8 and 5.7 years, respectively. In conclusion, mammary angiosarcoma is a rare disease that affects relatively younger patients. This tumor seems to have an overall similar clinical course as other types of angiosarcoma arising in skin or soft tissue; it carries a moderate risk of local recurrence, and a high risk of metastasis and death. In this large series, there is no correlation between histologic grade and patient outcome, more in line with angiosarcomas at other sites.
乳腺血管肉瘤是罕见肿瘤,约占乳腺原发恶性肿瘤的0.05%。目前认为乳腺血管肉瘤的组织学分级有重要的预后意义。我们回顾分析了49例乳腺原发血管肉瘤。临床详细资料和随访信息来自相关病理学医生和临床医生,通过图表分析。所有统计数据都进行Fisher确切检验并且仅当P<0.05时才认为是有意义的。无复发生存曲线和总体生存曲线用统计软件版本5.5(statsoft公司)建立。所有病人均为女性,年龄范围从15到74岁(平均41.5岁,中位数40岁)。高发期在30岁至50岁之间。所有肿瘤都位于乳腺实质伴或不伴有微小皮肤浸润。右侧通常较左侧易累及(66%vs.29.5%)。肿瘤累及双侧者2例(4.5%)。肿瘤大小范围0.7cm到25cm(平均6.7,中位数5)。大多数病人表现为可触及的、无痛性的肿块。2例病人有先期乳腺癌放射治疗病史。组织学上,原发肿瘤用Rosen3等级系统进行分级:低级别17例(35.4%),中级别17例(35.4%),高级别14例(29.2%)。46例病人手术治疗,11例化疗,12例进行了放射治疗。有效随访病例41例(83.7%,中位持续时间29个月)。10例(24.4%)病人在11至60个月内(中位数36)局部复发。24例病人(58.5%)迄今为止出现远处转移,大部分转移至肺、肝、皮肤和骨。诊断和转移之间的时间间隔范围为2到144个月(中位数34)。迄今为止18例(44%)病人死于该病,1例推测死于乳腺癌播散。5例病人(12.2%)带瘤生存,15例(36.6%)无瘤生存,各组织学级别间的肿瘤致死性无明显差别。无瘤生存期和总体生存期的中位数分别是2.8年和5.7年。总之,乳腺血管肉瘤是相对多发生于年轻患者的罕见肿瘤。该肿瘤总体看来同发生于皮肤和软组织的血管肉瘤有类似的临床过程;它有中等风险的局部复发性,和高风险的远处转移及致死性。在该研究系列中,组织学分级与病人预后间无关联,与其他部位的血管肉瘤较符合。

Above paper about 207 autopsy cases is a very good one.
Please remember the number: 11.2% of these women have perilobular haemaniomas.
Just hope all of you know that breast vascular lesions includes many different types, benign, atypial, malignant. It is totally wong that all breast vascular lesions are malignant. Also as a pathologist we cannot make our dx based on the incidence of lesions. We cannot have this concept for our dx and differential dx. If you think in this way others will think you still are a 门外汉。If you are my residents or fellows, you will get very low evaluation scores for your rotations.
I will be happy for my time in this subject if you can change your wrong concept about the breast vascular lesions
Wish some one can translate the autopsy abstract above. Thanks, cz

上面的关于207例尸检病理的文章是非常好的文章。请记住这个数字:11.2%女性有小叶周围血管瘤。
只是希望你们所有人都知道乳腺血管性病变包括许多不同类型:良性、不典型和恶性。所有乳腺血管性病变是恶性的观点是完全错误的。而且作为一个病理医生,我们不能根据疾病的发生率做出诊断,我们不能有这个概念而做出诊断和鉴别诊断。如果你是这样想的,那么你仍然是个门外汉。如果你是我的住院医生或fellows,你轮转时得到的将是很低的评价分。
如果你能改变有关乳腺血管性病变中的错误观点,我将很高兴在这个主题花费的时间。
希望有人将上面的尸检摘译翻译过来,谢谢。
A histopathological study was undertaken on breast tissue dissected during the course of 207 consecutive forensic post-mortems on women over the age of 15 years in order to define the frequency and types of lesions found in Australian women. At least 10 blocks were obtained from each breast and a total of 4,738 blocks were examined. A particularly high frequency of atypical hyperplasia (12.6%), carcinoma in situ (13.0%), focal secretory change (24.1%) and perilobular haemangiomas (11.2%) was found. The radial scar, considered by some to be a precursor of infiltrating ductal carcinoma was found in 7.7% of the women.

207例澳大利亚女性连续尸检中乳腺良性和恶性病变的发生频率
为了确定澳大利亚女性各种类型病变的发生频率,我们分析了207例15岁以上女性连续的法医尸检后切除的乳腺组织的组织病理学。每个乳腺至少有10个蜡块获得,总共检查了4738个蜡块。结果发现乳腺中不典型增生(12.6%)、原位癌(13.0%)、局灶性分泌性改变(24.1%)和小叶周围血管瘤(11.2%)较多。被认为是浸润性导管癌的放射状疤痕可见于7.7%女性。
Nearly 100 vascular tumors of the breast have been studied. Sixty-two were angiosarcomas lesions. Twenty-four patients with mammary hemangiomas are the subject of this report. Five of 11 microscopic perilobular hemangiomas, not clinically apparent (2 mm or less), were atypical and had nuclear hyperchromasia or focal anastomoses among vascular channels. Whether treated by excision or mastectomy, all 11 patients remain well with follow-up of up to 10 years. Fourteen clinically or grossly apparent macroscopic hemangiomas (0.3-2.5 cm) included eight characterized as cytologically atypical. With one exception, lesions designated hemangiomas were well circumscribed and tended to be divided into lobules. In more than half, origin from large, non-neoplastic "feeding" vessels that were seen branching into the lesion was demonstrated. Whether treated by excision or mastectomy, no hemangioma has recurred after follow-up, up to 5 years in some cases. The diagnosis of vascular tumors of the breast requires thorough microscopic study of the entire lesion. The majority are angiosarcomas. However, about one-third constitute a spectrum of apparently benign and atypical lesions, in which the single largest group are perilobular hemangiomas and hemangiomas. Size appears to be an important characteristic for distinguishing hemangiomas from angiosarcomas, as few lesions larger than 2 cm qualify as hemangiomas, whereas angiosarcomas are rarely smaller than 2 cm. It is possible that atypical perilobular hemangiomas or atypical hemangiomas are precursors to angiosarcoma, but this relationship remains to be demonstrated.

乳腺血管性肿瘤Ⅱ.小叶周围血管瘤和血管瘤
仅100例乳腺血管性肿瘤被研究。62例是血管肉瘤,24例乳腺血管瘤是本文研究的主题。11例临床不明显的(2mm及以下)、镜下小叶周围血管中,5例呈不典型性,有核深染或局灶性相互沟通的血管网。无论是切开还是乳腺切除标本,所有11例在随访到10年时间里均无异常。14例临床上或大体明显的血管瘤(0.3-2.5cm)中,8例特征性的有细胞学不典型性。1例血管瘤病变境界清楚,呈小叶状。超过一半病例可见病变来自于大的,非肿瘤性“滋养”血管,这些血管呈分枝状进行病变内。无论是切开还是乳腺切除标本,在随访期内没有血管瘤复发,部分病例随访到5年。乳腺血管性肿瘤的诊断需要整个病变全部镜下观察。大多数是血管肉瘤,然而,约1/3为明显良性和不典型病变,单个最大组是小叶周围血管瘤和血管瘤。病变大小似乎是血管瘤与血管肉瘤区分的一个重要特征,因为仅有少数>2cm病变是血管瘤,而血管肉瘤很少大于2cm。不典型小叶周围血管瘤或不典型血管瘤可能是血管肉瘤的前驱病变,但这种相关性尚需要进一步证实。
