Malignant myoepithelioma (myoepithelial carcinoma) of the breast: a detailed cytokeratin study.
AIMS To study the expression of a range of cytokeratins by malignant myoepithelioma of the breast. METHODS Immunophenotyping was carried out using a panel of antibodies on paraffin wax embedded and frozen material using immunohistochemistry and double-labelled immunofluorescence. Electron microscopy was also performed. RESULTS The tumour cells were positive for CAM 5.2, actin, vimentin, and...

متن کاملRare Breast Myoepithelial Carcinoma with a Distinctive Genetic Profiling Study
We describe a 74-year-old woman with no family history of breast cancer who presented with a high-grade myoepithelial carcinoma. Diagnosis was supported by immunohistochemical staining for both epithelial (ie, keratin) and myoepithelial (eg., p63, S-100, actin) differentiation. Because the patient reported that her family had an extensive history of neoplasm, a genetic study was ordered. To our...
