A case of apocrine carcinoma of the breast presenting as two cysts is reported. A 60-year-old woman had two soft, mobile,
well-defined masses measuring 4 X 2.5 cm and 1.5 X 2.5 cm in diameter in the lower-inner quadrant of the right breast. Tumor
markers such as CEA, CA153, BCA225 and NCC-ST-439 were within normal limits. Mammography showed two oval radioopaque masses
with microcalcification in the smaller one. Ultrasonography disclosed two cysts and papillary projection in the larger one.
Fine needle aspiration cytology revealed apocrine carcinoma of the breast. Excisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of apocrine
carcinoma with focal invasion. Modified radical mastectomy was performed. Pathological study showed that the tumor mainly
proliferated in the cysts and the two cysts communicated with each other through an involved duct. There was no apocrine metaplasia
in adjacent mammary gland. There were no metastatic lymph nodes. This case may be regarded as intraductal apocrine carcinoma
developing two cysts with focal invasion. 相似文献

An unusual case of synchronous bilateral breast cancer occurring during combination chemotherapy and radiation to the outside of the breast for malignant lymphoma is reported. Two histologically rare carcinomas, spindle cell carcinoma and apocrine carcinoma, were observed in this case. A 77-year-old woman, who had been treated for stage IIIA non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, developed bilateral breast tumors. Aspiration biopsy cytology findings of the tumor in the left breast showed several clusters of adenocarcinoma cells and some large atypical spindle shaped cells, which suggested spindle cell carcinoma. The cytologic findings of the right breast tumor were highly suggestive of scirrhous carcinoma. A modified radical mastectomy was performed on both breasts. Pathological examination disclosed two separate cancer lesions in the left breast. The lesion which had been detected before the operation, was a spindle cell carcinoma. Another lesion, detected for the first time by pathological examination, was an apocrine carcinoma. The lesion in the right breast was a scirrhous carcinoma. Since non-invasive foci were detected in these three cancer lesions, each lesion was thought to be a primary cancer. All dissected bilateral axillary lymph nodes showed malignant lymphoma. Immuno-histochemistry of the spindle cell carcinoma revealed positive immunoreactivity for cytokeratin, which suggested the epithelial as well as mesenchymal nature of this tumor. Synchronous existence of malignant lymphoma and three independent breast cancers including spindle cell carcinoma and apocrine carcinoma is very rare. 相似文献

Background Apocrine carcinoma is rare and most of its clinicopathological features are still unknown. The purpose of this study was to
identify the clinicopathological characteristics of apocrine carcinoma.
Methods We clinicopathologically analyzed apocrine breast carcinomas resected from 12 Japanese women and subclassified them histopathologically.
Results The average age of the patients at diagnosis was 60.1 years (range: 38-78). Tumor diameters ranged from 0.5 to 4.5 cm (median
2.4). Mammography revealed tumor shadows without microcalcifications in all patients. Two (17%) of the 12 patients were lymph
node metastasis-positive, and lymphatic permeation by tumor cells was observed in 3 (25%). Apocrine carcinoma in this study
could be classified into three subtypes according to predominant histopathological growth pattern: type I, intraductal spreading
type (4 patients); type II, adenosis-associated type (3 patients); and type III, infiltrating type (5 patients). Types I and
II showed no lymph node metastasis and had an excellent prognosis, whereas the infiltrating type was associated with lymph
node metastasis and death from cancer. Estrogen receptors and progesterone receptors were positive in 17% (1/6) and 60% (3/5),
respectively, of the tumors tested.
Conclusions In the present study, apocrine carcinoma of the breast was characterized by higher patient age and tumor shadows without microcalcifications
on mammography. However, the tumors were heterogenous with regard to pattern of local spread. 相似文献

Invasive apocrine carcinomas (IACs), as defined by morphological features, correspond to 0.3–4% of all invasive ductal carcinomas (IDC), and despite the fact that they are histologically distinct from other breast lesions there are currently no standard molecular criteria available for their diagnosis and no unequivocal information as to their prognosis. In an effort to address these concerns we have been using protein expression profiling technologies in combination with mass spectrometry and immunohistochemistry (IHC) to discover specific biomarkers that could allow us to molecularly characterize these lesions as well as to dissect some of the steps in the processes underlying breast apocrine metaplasia and development of precancerous apocrine lesions. Establishing these apocrine‐specific markers as best practice for the routine pathology evaluation of breast cancer, however, will require their validation in large cohorts of patients. Towards this goal we have composed a panel of antibodies against components of an apocrine protein signature that includes probes against the apocrine‐specific markers 15‐prostaglandin dehydrogenase (15‐PGDH), and acyl‐CoA synthetase medium‐chain family member 1 (ACSM1), in addition to a set of categorizing markers that are consistently expressed (AR, CD24) or not expressed (ERα, PgR, Bcl‐2, and GATA‐3) by apocrine metaplasia in benign breast lesions and apocrine sweat glands. This panel was used to analyze a well‐defined cohort consisting of 14 apocrine ductal carcinoma in situ (ADCIS), and 33 IACs diagnosed at the Cancer Institute Hospital, Tokyo between 1997 and 2001. Samples were originally classified on the basis of cellular morphology with all cases having more than 90% of the tumour cells exhibiting cytological features typical of apocrine cells. Using the expression of 15‐PGDH and/or ACSM1 as the main criterion, but taking into account the expression of other markers, we were able to identify unambiguously 13 out of 14 ADCIS (92.9%) and 20 out of 33 (60.6%) IAC samples, respectively, as being of apocrine origin. Our results demonstrate that IACs correspond to a distinct, even if heterogeneous, molecular subgroup of breast carcinomas that can be readily identified in an unbiased way using a combination of markers that recapitulate the phenotype of apocrine sweat glands (15‐PGDH+, ACSM1+, AR+, CD24+, ERα−, PgR−, Bcl‐2−, and GATA‐3−). These results pave the way for addressing issues such as prognosis of IACs, patient stratification for targeted therapeutics, as well as research strategies for identifying novel therapeutic targets for developing new cancer therapies. 相似文献

Apocrine carcinoma is a rare malignant adnexal neoplasm. The differential diagnosis between apocrine carcinoma and cutaneous metastasis is often difficult. Here, we report a case of locally recurrent penile apocrine carcinoma initially diagnosed as metastatic adenocarcinoma of the colon. A 75-year-old man with a history of surgical resection due to sigmoid colon cancer and penile metastasis two years prior to this study presented with a nodule at the left penile base. He underwent a wide local resection of the penile mass under a suggested preoperative diagnosis of extra-mammary Paget's disease (EMPD) associated with previous sigmoid colon cancer. However, the previously and currently resected penile masses were identified as primary apocrine carcinoma upon hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and immunohistochemical staining. Although the incidence is extremely rare, both clinicians and pathologists should be alert to the possibility of synchronous double primary apocrine carcinoma in cancer patients with malignant cutaneous lesions. 相似文献

An immunohistochemical study for S100 protein was performed on 95 human breast carcinomas. S100 protein positive carcinoma cells were recognized in 54 cases (57%). The S100 protein positive and negative carcinomas were then compared in terms of stage, histologic type, nuclear grade, appearance of minute calcification, immunoreactivity for estrogen receptor (ER), tumor recurrent pattern, and prognosis. The S100 protein positive cases had a tendency to show a low nuclear grade (P < 0.01). They were also more often seen in the ER positive group. For further analysis of the nature of S100 protein positive carcinoma cells, immunoreactivity for neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and actin was investigated. The positive staining for NSE and actin was seen in 46 cases (48%) and 3 cases (3%), respectively. There was, however, no specific correlation among the S100 protein, NSE, or actin staining. The nature of S100 protein positive carcinoma cells still remains unclear. The S100 protein positive carcinomas, however, exhibit relatively better characteristics. © Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

It has been thought that NCC-ST-439 antigen (ST-439) is a tumor-related carbohydrate antigen. The authors conducted serum and immunohistochemical studies to investigate the clinical significance of ST-439 in breast cancer. The level of serum ST-439 was elevated in advanced and recurrent breast cancers. In comparison with CEA and CA15–3, ST-439 was superior in sensitivity but inferior in specificity to these markers. The level of serum ST-439 showed no correlation with the levels of CEA or CA15–3. In the combination assay of these three markers, 80.6% of recurrent cases and 33.8% of primary cases were positive. Immunohistochemically, the expression of ST-439 was observed in 28.1% of noncancerous mammary duct epithelium and in 38.1% of the cancerous portion. From the above, we concluded that ST-439 was a tumor-related antigen and could be a tumor marker with high sensitivity in breast cancer. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Semi-quantitative immunohistochemical analysis of aromatase expression in ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Although estrogens whose production is catalyzed by aromatase are considered to play a role in human breast carcinogenesis, it remains unclear whether aromatase expression occurs in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast. Aromatase expression in 61 cases of pure DCIS and 101 cases of invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) was investigated by immunohistochemical analysis using a polyclonal anti-aromatase antibody. The level of aromatase expression was semiquantified by the H-score which was estimated by the percentage of positive-staining cells and the intensity of staining. The levels of aromatase expression were compared between the DCIS and IDC samples, and were also compared among the tumor cells and stromal cells in the DCIS and IDC samples. Positive cytoplasmic staining for aromatase expression was found not only in stromal cells but also in tumor cells. The levels of aromatase expression in the tumor cells and stromal cells from the DCIS samples were significantly higher than those in the respective cells from the IDC samples. Among the DCIS samples, those specimens from patients of ages 50 years or over showed higher levels of aromatase expression in stromal cells, than those from patients below 50 years. The finding that significantly higher aromatase expression levels were found in DCIS than in IDC indicates that it may be possible to treat DCIS patients with aromatase inhibitors, especially as an adjuvant hormonal therapy for postmenopausal patients. 相似文献

High‐grade invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) may paradoxically display features similar to benign breast masses. This study analysed the ultrasound features of histologically proven cases of grade 3 IDC. At North Western BreastScreen Victoria, from 4 February 1993 to 30 September 2002, 181 cases of grade 3 IDC that had ultrasound evaluation were available for retrospective analysis. For each tumour, four features were assessed: margin, attenuation characteristics, echotexture and depth versus width ratio. Eighty‐seven per cent of tumours had an aggressive margin with an echogenic rind, microlobulation or angular margins. However, 11% had a well‐defined smooth margin. The classic sonographic malignant feature of posterior shadowing was present in only 30%, whereas the tissues posterior to the lesion remained isoechoic in 48% and showed posterior enhancement in 11%. Six per cent of the tumours were isoechoic and difficult to appreciate on ultrasound. The best feature to characterize lesions as malignant was the margin of the lesion. To ensure that malignant lesions are correctly categorized, it is important that interfaces between the tumour and adjacent breast parenchyma are meticulously evaluated in a real‐time fashion rather than viewed as a single still image. 相似文献

We recently reported that standardized quantitative immunohistochemical (IHC) assays allowed prediction of an adverse outcome among 572 node negative (N-) patients with breast carcinoma (BrCa). To further validate our prior findings, we repeated the IHC stains including a second series of BrCa diagnosed at Yale University. Tissue microarrays (TMAs) of two cohorts of patients with BrCa (418 Marseille University and 303 Yale University) were respectively investigated for IHC expression of 15 markers (HIF-1α, PI3K, pAKT, pmTOR, moesin, P21, 4(E) BP-1, P27, Ker5-6, pMAPKAPK-2, SHARP2, claudin-1, ALDH, AF6 and CD24). Quantitative measurements of immunoprecipitates densitometry assessed with an image analyzer were correlated with 8-year patients' outcome and compared in the two cohorts. The best predictive signature consisted of a combination of five markers that included HIF-1α, PI3K, claudin-1, AF6 and pAKT in N- BrCa. This combination permitted an accurate prediction of outcome in 92.34% (386/418) of N- patients in the first set (Marseille) and 89.8% (158/176) in the second set (Yale). The close results in both cohorts confirmed the validity of this original IHC signature predictive of prognosis in node negative BrCa. This validation suggests that in clinical practice, it would be possible with standardized kits (i) to identify patients with poor prognosis at diagnosis time, particularly in the N- BrCa subset, who would require more aggressive adjuvant therapy and (ii) to avoid useless expensive therapies and their side effects in N- patients with favorable prognosis. 相似文献

A 34-year-old premenopausal woman developed asynchronous bilateral nonpalpable breast cancers at the age of 32 and 34 years.
She had undergone amputation of her left lower leg because of osteosarcoma at the age of 16. Her mother had been diagnosed
with breast cancer at the age of 45. The clinicopathological features of the two breast tumors in this patient closely resembled
each other; both were nonpalpable, and detectable only by helical CT scan. Histologically, they consisted mainly of an intraductal
component with small grade 3 invasive foci. In addition, both tumors estrogen receptor (ER) status was negative, and both
were positive for c-erbB-2 protein on immunohistochemical staining. A missense germ line mutation ofBRCA2 (exon 25 codon 3118; Met31 1 8Thr) was detected in this patient. These data may provide useful information on the carcinogenesis
and biological behavior of breast cancers which develop in patients withBRCA2 germ line mutations. 相似文献

Because of the rarity of apocrine carcinoma and lack of standardized criteria for the diagnosis, the definitive conclusions of clinicopathologic features and the prognosis has not been determined. We retrospectively examined data on 2091 curatively treated Japanese patients with primary breast carcinoma. Among them, 33 (1.6%) who had been diagnosed of apocrine carcinoma were reviewed. Compared with non-apocrine carcinoma, apocrine carcinoma was characterized by less positive rates of ER and PR, and by frequent rates of unilateral multicentric breast carcinoma with significant difference. The clinicopathological factors influencing 12-year survival rate were lymph node metastasis, lymphatic involvement and vascular involvement. There was no difference in survival rates at 10 years after operation between apocrine carcinoma and non-apocrine carcinoma. Our result shows unique hormone response and unilateral multicentricity are only typical clinicopathological features of apocrine carcinoma. 相似文献

The grade of recurrent in situ and invasive carcinoma occurring after treatment of pure ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) has been compared with the grade of the original DCIS in 122 patients from four different centres (The Royal Marsden Hospitals, London and Sutton, 57 patients; Guy's Hospital, London, 19 patients; Nottingham City Hospital, 31 patients and The Royal Liverpool Hospital, 15 patients). The recurrent carcinoma was pure DCIS in 70 women (57%) and in 52 women (43%) invasive carcinoma was present, which was associated with an in situ element in 43. In all, 19 patients developed a second recurrence (pure DCIS in 11 and invasive with or without an in situ element in eight). The majority of invasive carcinomas followed high-grade DCIS. There was strong agreement between the grade of the original DCIS and that of the recurrent DCIS (kappa=0.679), which was the same in 95 of 113 patients (84%). The grade of the original DCIS showed only fair agreement with the grade of recurrent invasive carcinoma (kappa=0.241), although agreement was stronger with the pleomorphism score of the recurrent carcinoma (kappa=0.396). There was moderate agreement, in recurrent invasive lesions, between the grade of the DCIS and that of the associated invasive element (kappa=0.515). Other features that showed moderate or strong agreement between the original and recurrent DCIS were necrosis and periductal inflammation. The similarity between the histological findings of the original and subsequent DCIS is consistent with the concept that recurrent lesions represent regrowth of residual carcinoma. In addition, although agreement between the grade of the original DCIS and that of any subsequent invasive carcinoma was only fair, there is no suggestion that low-grade DCIS lesions progress to higher grade lesions or to the development of higher grade invasive carcinoma. This is in agreement with immunohistochemical and molecular data indicating that low-grade and high-grade mammary carcinomas are quite different lesions. 相似文献
