In Situ and Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Within a Borderline Phyllodes Tumor

چکیده
A rare case of a borderline phyllodes tumor with simultaneous intraductal and infiltrating duct carcinoma is reported. The patient was a 52-year-old woman with a breast tumor detected by physical examination. A simple mastectomy was performed. The excised tumor had a macroscopic appearance of a phyllodes tumor. After histological examination, the diagnosis of ductal carcinoma within a borderline phyllodes tumor was made. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that the epithelial component was positive for Epithelial Membrane Antigen and cytokeratin. No metastasis was detected in the axillary lymph nodes and the patient didn't receive any adjuvant therapy. No recurrence or metastasis has been observed 38 months after the surgery.

متن کاملInvasive Ductal Carcinoma within a Benign Phyllodes Tumor
BACKGROUND Phyllodes tumor (PT) is a rare neoplasm of the breast. Concomitant PT with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is an even rarer occurrence. When ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or IDC are detected within the specimen, the management changes from wide local excision to further staging work-up, including sentinel node biopsy and radiation. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 70-year-old pr...

The focus of this study was to determine if early detection of mutant p53 accumulation may be an early indicator of tumor aggressiveness and transformation to invasive breast cancer. For this purpose, the p53 content of 100 human breast biopsies classified as ductal carcinoma (DCIS), was evaluated by immunohistochemical method. All specimens were microscopically classified into histologic types...
