以下是引用笃行者在2009-6-14 21:40:00的发言:
是个少见的图像,前几幅图令人头痛,后几幅图似浸润性导管癌。 “血管源性肉瘤”是个大胆的想法。是的思路应该开阔,“一切皆有可能”。当然应首先考虑常见的肿瘤,常见的肿瘤不像,就要考虑少见的,原发的不像,就要考虑转移的。 |
Agree.
1. Last photos show small glandular formatons, cytologic atypia, mitoses, like invasive ductal ca. Difficult to interpretate the first group of photos. The chance of one tumor is much more common than that of two different tumor in same breast. Do some Pan CK stain to see if the two areas show same positivity. If the cells in first photos are negative for CK stains. Then think others.
2. Original or metastatic tumor if it is a adenocarcinoma case. It is true it is not very typical breast invasive ductal ca even in the last few photos.
Check if pt had malignant history, clinical impression and x-ray information.
If not sure, do IHC CK7, CK20, ER, PR, mamaloglobin, TTF-1. GYN, lung, GI....
3. Then think more.
Confused by the growth pattern of the case.
In fact it is not difficult to have dx if you have your DDX and IHC.
First figs: germ cell tumor-york-sac tumor (kiding in 46 y-breast) angosarcoma (not typical)
Last few photos: microglandular adenosis-pattern, atypical or maligant
One tumor with different growth patterns or two different tomors. I guess it is one tumor.
Anyway waiting for Quan zi's IHC results.
This case does have two different appearances. The poorly differentiated area is composed of rather smallish cells forming sheets or loosely cohesive islands with apparent necrosis. Nucleoli are not conspicuous. This gives me an impression of neuroendocrine tumour. The other apperance I would consider as a classical invasive ductal carcinoma with infiltration of poorly formed glands, pleomorphic tumour cells and conspicuous mitoses.
If neuroendocrine differentiation can be confirmed by immunohistochemistry (CD56, synaptophysin, of chromogranin A in > 50% of tumour cells), the issue of two different appearances would be easily solved.
Before above speculation, I would like to know, like Dr Zhao said, more information about this case. Such as sections showing junction of both appearances, past history of any malignancy, immunostains including cytokeratin, LCA, ER, PR, Her-2.....
I am waiting my slides.
Come here to see this case again.
Quan zi: please show us some low power phtos. I want to know the relation of the first 6 photos to others.
Did you use different stains? Why did two groups of photos show different color?
If you will give us one IHC stain only, I want to know pan-CK for both two areas. Common things are common. I still think it may be one lesion if I do not know any IHC.
