History 70 yrs old female presented with history of lump in left breast - 6 months FNAC was done
4
Treatment History FNAC gave a diagnosis of infiltrating ductal carcinoma -? Mucinous Variant Modified radical mastectomy was done and the specimen was sent for histopathological examination
5
Pathological Findings Histopathological examination revealed a diagnosis of Mucinous Carcinoma - Breast StageT4bN0M0
6
4.5x5x7.5 cm 0.8 cm from DRM 1 cm from sup.margin 0.5 cm from inferior margin 7.5 cm from lateral margin 1.5 cm from medial margin Almost reaching the skin
7
Mucinous carcinoma breast GROSS: Circumscribed The cut surface is typically moist and glistening
8
Mucinous Carcinoma breast Rare tumour accounting for <2% of breast malignancies Characterised by presence of carcinoma cells surrounded by lakes/pools of extracellular mucin Mean age - 67 years Postmenopausal
13
Variants of breast carcinoma Microinvasive Tubular Mucinous Papillary Secretory Cribriform Adenoid cystic
14
Mucinous carcinoma Mucinous carcinomas – Pure(>90% mucinous component ) – Mixed(infiltrating duct carcinoma with mucinous component or mucinous differentiation )
15
Mucinous carcinomas Mucinous -pureMixed Small sizeLarge size Lobulated/circumscribedIrregular Slow growth rateHighly infiltrative lymph node mets rare lymph node mets frequent Good prognosisBad prognosis
16
Differential Diagnosis Mucocele-like tumor – Cystic lesion – Granular calcifications++
17
IHC Mucinous: – Increased MUC2 And MUC5 protein Expression – Decreased MUC1 Expression Non mucinous: – Increased MUC1 But normal MUC2 & MUC5 Nuclear reactivity for estrogen and progesterone receptors is found in 92% and 68%
18
Accessory tests ER-PR +ve =good prognosis Her2-Negative
