The histology of the lesion show both mucinous and micropapillary features, with both mucin and the inverted pattern very easy to appriociated. Recently most people included us like to call it as mucinous carcinoma with micropapillary feature. Some has named it as mucinous variant of invasive micropapillary carcinoma. Either way, it's prognosis is believed to be worse than pure mucinous carcinoma, and probably better than IMPC. So mention it in diagnosis is important.

Breast carcinoma with micropapillary architecture is associated with aggressive behavior. Similar micropapillary pattern in pure mucinous carcinoma has been noticed and has been shown to convey poor prognosis. In this study 17 cases of pure mucinous carcinoma of the breast seen during a 10-year period have been reviewed, with special reference to micropapillary pattern. Diffuse micropapillary pattern was seen in 6 of 17 cases of mucinous carcinoma of the breast and demonstrated reverse polarity immunostaining pattern with “Epithelial Membrane Antigen.” In all cases, the tumor cells showed grade I morphology, and no lymph node metastases were noticed. All the tumors except 1 expressed strong estrogen and progesterone receptor expression, however, all the cases were negative for Her-2/neu expression. In this present study, mucinous carcinomas with micropapillary pattern showed a low nuclear grade, higher incidence of hormone receptor positivity, and lower incidence of Her-2/neu similar to mucinous carcinomas without micropapillary pattern, thus explaining their indolent behavior.
