16
Q

 Soft or rubbery and has pale gray-blue gelatin appearance.
 Borders are pushing or circumscribed.
 Cells are clustered in small islands within large mucin lakes.

A

Mucinous (colloid) Carcinoma

17
Q

Dense collagenous CT and ductal epithelail hyperplasia (no lobule formation)

A

male breast cancer

18
Q

 contain turbid, semi transluscent brown-blue fluid (blue domed cyst).
 Lined with flattened, atrophic epi or metaplastic apocrine cells.

A

cysts: nonproliferative breast change

19
Q
  • leaf-like
  • Larger lesions have bulbous protrusions d/t nodules of proliferating stroma covered by epi.
  • Higher cellularity, mitotic rate, nuclear pleomorphism, stromal overgrowth, infiltrative borders
A

phyllodes tumor (cystosarcoma)

20
Q
  • Lacks high grade nuclei or central necrosis.

* True papillae pattern: Fibrovascular core w/o myoepi cell layer.

A

noncomedo DCIS

21
Q
  • poorly diff
  • fibrotic or necrotic center
  • -lymphocytic infiltrate
  • basal keratins
A

ER(-), HER2(-) Invasive (infiltrating) Carcinoma

22
Q

cluster of lg cells w pale cytoplasm containing MPS

A

paget dis of nipple

23
Q

fat containing lesions

A

lipoma

24
Q

fibroblasts and inflamm. cells lead to giant cells, calcifiations & deposition of hemosiderin → scar tissue.

A

chronic fat necrosis of breast

25
Q

“indian file” infiltration

A

lobular carcinoma

26
Q

ill-defined, firm, grey-white nodules containing small chalky white foci

A

scar tissue from fat necrosis of the breast

27
Q

o Keratinizing squamous metaplasia of the nipple ducts.
o Ductal system is plugged by shed cells → dilation & eventually rupture of the duct.
o Keratin spills into the surrounding periductal tissue → intense chronic granulomatous response.
o Acute inflamm. may occur secondary to anaerobic bacterial infxn.

A

Squamous Metaplasia of Lactiferous Ducts

• AKA: Subaerolar abscess, Periductal mastitis, or Zuska dz.

28
Q
  • poorly diff
  • apocrine or micropapillary
  • extensive DCIS
A

HER+ Invasive (infiltrating) Carcinoma

29
Q

o Well-cicumscribed, rubbery, greyish-white nodules that bulge above the surrounding tissue and contain slit-like spaces
o In older women, the stroma typically becomes densely hyalinized and the epi atrophic.

A

fibroadenoma

30
Q

 Soft d/t minimal desmoplasia.
 well circumscribed mass.
 Solid, syncytium sheets of lg cells w lg, pleomorphic nuclei, prominent nucleoli (75% of tumor mass)
 Frequent mitotic figures.
 Lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate surrounding & within the tumor.
 Pushing (noninfiltratitve) border

A

medullary carcinoma

31
Q

true papilla: Fronds of fibrovascular tissue lined by tumor cells

A

papillary carcinoma
