  • Title: Fine needle aspiration cytology of rare malignant tumors of the breast.
    Author: Gorczyca W, Olszewski W, Tuziak T, Kram A, Woyke S, Uciński M.
    Journal: Acta Cytol; 1992; 36(6):918-26. PubMed ID: 1333143.
    Abstract:
    This report describes the fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytologic findings in 17 rare malignant breast tumors. The series consisted of invasive cribriform carcinoma, papillary carcinoma, apocrine carcinoma, carcinoma with pseudosarcomatous metaplasia, carcinosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, malignant phyllodes tumors, primary malignant lymphomas, plasmocytoma, metastatic melanoma and metastatic renal clear cell carcinoma. Besides cytomorphology, the results of immunostaining in eight cases are presented, as is a review of the literature. It is important for rare primary malignancies, as well as for metastatic tumors, to be diagnosed, or at least have the diagnosis suggested, preoperatively by FNA and immunocytochemistry, permitting better therapy planning.
