Immunohistochemical marker profiles for the differentiation of collagenous spherulosis from adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast. Hum Pathol 2024; 148:7-13.

Abstract
Collagenous spherulosis (CS) is a rare breast lesion of unknown histogenesis. Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare basal-like breast carcinoma with low histological grade. CS is a benign lesion but resembles ACC. Both lesions show a similar histomorphology and feature bilineage differentiation. This study compared immunohistochemical markers in CS and ACC. We compiled n = 13 CS cases and n = 18 mammary ACCs. Fourteen marker proteins (ER, PR, HER2, GATA3, CK7, E-cadherin, CD117, CK5/14, p40, p63, SMA, CD10, calponin, P-cadherin) were evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC). MYB rearrangement, a common alteration in ACC, was assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Patient age ranged between 40-60 years for CS lesions and 30-90 years for ACCs. 7/13 (54%) CS cases harbored a lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) in the luminal component. One CS/LCIS lesion occurred in a carrier of a pathogenic germline variant in CDH1/E-cadherin. MYB rearrangement was detected in 0/11 (0%) CS and 6/16 (37%) ACC cases (P = 0.054). CS was associated with expression of ER in the luminal component (P < 0.001), E-cadherin loss in the luminal component (P = 0.045), and expression of CD10 and calponin in the basal component (P < 0.001). Furthermore, CS was associated with GATA3 expression in the luminal component (12/13 [92%] versus 5/18 [27%], P < 0.001). In summary, IHC for GATA3 and E-cadherin may contribute to the differential diagnosis between CS and ACC, although these markers are not exclusively expressed in either lesion. Histologic evaluation has to take into account that CS is frequently colonized by LCIS, requiring thorough correlation of histomorphology and immunohistochemical features.

Abstract
Breast imaging radiologists regularly perform image-guided biopsies of suspicious breast lesions based on features that are associated with a likelihood of malignancy ranging from 2% to greater than 95% (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System categories 4 and 5). As diagnostic partners, pathologists perform histopathologic assessment of these tissue samples to confirm a diagnosis. Correlating the imaging findings with the histopathologic results is an integral aspect of multidisciplinary breast care. Assessment of radiologic-pathologic concordance is vital in guiding appropriate management, as it enables identification of discordant results, minimizing the chance of misdiagnosis. Undersampling can lead to false-negative results, with the frequencies of false-negative diagnoses varying on the basis of multiple factors, including biopsy type (eg, core needle, vacuum-assisted needle), needle gauge, and type of lesion sampled at biopsy (ie, mass, calcifications, asymmetry, architectural distortion). Improving a radiologist's knowledge of macroscopic and microscopic breast anatomy and more common breast diseases and their expected imaging findings ensures more accurate radiologic-pathologic correlation and management recommendations. The histopathologic and molecular characteristics of biopsy-sampled breast lesions aid in making an accurate diagnosis. Hematoxylin-eosin staining provides critical morphologic details, whereas immunohistochemical staining enables molecular characterization of many benign and malignant lesions, which is critical for tailored treatment. The authors review commonly encountered benign and malignant breast diseases, their corresponding histopathologic phenotypes, and the histopathologic markers that are essential to clinching the diagnosis of these entities. As part of a multidisciplinary team that provides optimal patient care, radiologists should be knowledgeable of the foundations of histopathologic diagnosis and the implications for patient management to ensure appropriate radiologic-pathologic concordance. ©RSNA, 2023 Quiz questions for this article are available in the supplemental material.

Abstract
The incidence of breast cancer (BC) is increasing in South Korea, and diet is closely related to the high prevalence of BC. The microbiome directly reflects eating habits. In this study, a diagnostic algorithm was developed by analyzing the microbiome patterns of BC. Blood samples were collected from 96 patients with BC and 192 healthy controls. Bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) were collected from each blood sample, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) of bacterial EVs was performed. Microbiome analysis of patients with BC and healthy controls identified significantly higher bacterial abundances using EVs in each group and confirmed the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Using this algorithm, animal experiments were performed to determine which foods affect EV composition. Compared to BC and healthy controls, statistically significant bacterial EVs were selected from both groups, and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn with a sensitivity of 96.4%, specificity of 100%, and accuracy of 99.6% based on the machine learning method. This algorithm is expected to be applicable to medical practice, such as in health checkup centers. In addition, the results obtained from animal experiments are expected to select and apply foods that have a positive effect on patients with BC.

Abstract
Myoepithelial cells (MECs) constitute a continuous layer of cells surrounding the breast glands, localised between the epithelial cells (ECs) and the basal membrane. MECs play important roles in normal mammary gland as they produce basal membrane and stimulate secretion. During neoplastic transformation, MECs act as a barrier preventing stromal invasion. MECs themselves can undergo a great variety of changes, ranging from hyperplastic to metaplastic, to neoplastic, and giving rise to a wide spectrum of morphological pictures sometimes difficult to interpret on routine diagnoses. Several benign and malignant breast tumours can present features of MECs differentiation. As these latter tumours are quite infrequent, the purpose of the present study is to offer a review of the morphological spectrum of MECs lesions, with correlations to prognosis.

Abstract
Objective To review the imaging features of granular cell tumors of the breast (on mammography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging), establishing a pathological correlation, in order to familiarize radiologists with this entity and make them aware of the differential diagnoses, other than malignancy, of lesions with spiculated margins. Materials and Methods We reviewed the medical records (from a clinical-pathology database and picture archiving and communication system) of five patients with a pathologically confirmed diagnosis of granular cell tumor of the breast, treated at the Portuguese Oncology Institute of Lisbon, in the city of Lisbon, Portugal, between January 2012 and December 2018. Results All five tumors exhibited imaging features highly suggestive of malignancy (BI-RADS 5 lesions), namely spiculated margins, significant depth, and posterior acoustic shadowing (on ultrasound). One tumor showed a kinetic curve indicative of washout on magnetic resonance imaging, two were adherent to the pectoralis muscle, and one was accompanied by skin retraction. Pathology provided the definitive diagnosis in all cases. Conclusion Granular cell tumors of the breast pose a diagnostic challenge because they can present with clinical and imaging features mimicking malignancy, and the diagnosis is therefore provided by pathology. Radiologists should be familiarized with this entity, so they can be aware of the fact that breast lesions with spiculated margins can be indicative of diagnoses other than malignancy.

Abstract
A 74-year-old female patient presented with a hard breast mass and dimpling with
a clinical suspicion of a carcinoma. Histological evaluation revealed a granular
cell tumour. Granular cell tumour is a rare neoplasm, mostly benign in origin
that may arise in every body site, 5%–15% of cases occur in the breast. It is
strongly suggested that granular cell tumours origin is Schwann cells.
Clinically, granular cell tumours presentation may mimic mammary carcinoma and
their similar features on mammography and ultrasound make it difficult to
differentiate between them.

Abstract
We describe the histological and immunohistochemical features of the changes produced by spiral coil localization wires in the breast parenchyma and lymph nodes of a total of 100 patients undergoing surgery for different breast lesions. Coil wires produced cystic lesions containing a hyaline, mucous-like, PAS-negative fluid. Cavities were lined by cells of variable morphology ranging from synovial-like cells (with a conspicuous epithelial appearance) to mononuclear or multinucleate histiocytic cells that expressed CD68, but were negative for keratins. CD3-positive/CD8-positive T lymphocytes predominated in the inflammatory reaction. Pathologists should be aware of these changes in order to differentiate coil-related lesions from other granulomatous or epithelial lesions, including mucocele-like and ductal carcinoma in situ lesions.
