Description:
Recognition of the variants of invasive mammary carcinoma is important so as to arrive at the correct diagnosis and contribute to the appropriate management of patients with breast cancer. This course will employ a case-based approach to illustrate three variants of invasive breast carcinoma including secretory carcinoma, invasive mammary carcinoma with neuroendocrine differentiation, and matrix-producing metaplastic carcinoma
Objectives:
• Recognize the salient histopathological features, immunophenotype, and behavior of secretory carcinoma of the breast.
• Be familiar with the recognition of invasive mammary carcinoma with neuroendocrine differentiation and their distinction from metastatic neuroendocrine carcinomas and the significance of finding neuroendocrine differentiation in invasive mammary carcinoma.
• Be familiar with the morphological features and immunophenotype of matrix producing metaplastic carcinoma.
Topics:
• Illustration of a case of secretory carcinoma and discussion of this variant of invasive mammary carcinoma.
• Illustration of a case of invasive mammary carcinoma with neuroendocrine differentiation and discussion of this type of mammary carcinoma
• Illustration of a case of matrix-producing metaplastic carcinoma and discussion of this unique variant of invasive mammary carcinoma.
