*Syringomatous adenoma
*Intraductal carcinoma - cribriforming glands should be absent
*Intraductal carcinoma - the proliferation in nipple adenoma should be no more atypical than that seen with usual intraductal hyperplasia or intraductal papillomatosis.  Cribriforming glands should be absent
*Invasive ductal carcinoma - IHC is useful (see below) the ducts should all be lined by myoepithelium.
