Revision as of 07:21, 1 May 2015
Invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast, also micropapillary carcinoma, is a rare type of invasive breast cancer.
General
- Poor prognosis.
- Lymphovascular invasion common.[1]
Microscopic
Features:[2]
- Small micropapillary tufts of tumour cells or tubuloalveolar structures.
- Central avascular stromal core.
- Clear spaces/clefting around the small clusters of tumor cells - diffuse/through-out the tumour - key feature.
- Described as "small clusters of tumour lying within dilated vascular channel-like spaces".[3]
- Can appear sponge like or swiss cheese like.
- Abundant finely granular cytoplasm.
- Mucin cytoplasmic but not in the surrounding clear spaces.
- Nuclear atypia is moderate or severe.
- Mixed(micropapillary + other) histological pattern common.
- Can show psamomma bodies or other calcifications.
DDX
- Invasive mammary carcinoma of no special type with micropapillary features.
- Metastatic papillary serous carcinoma of the ovary (WT1, PAX8 positive).[4]
Note:
- Ductal carcinoma commonly has clefting... but it isn't diffuse.
- Even a minor component of this tumor type should be identified and reported due to the high rate of associated lymphatic invasion and nodal involvement.
- Skin involvement has been reported to be strongly correlated with a poor prognosis for this subtype.
- Micropapillary architectural is retained in node metastases, dermal lymphatic invasion, and recurrences.[5]

- Invasive micropapillary carcinoma - poor quality image (breast-cancer.ca).[6]
IHC
- EMA +ve (periphery of nests); described as inside-out pattern.[3]
- E-cadherin +ve (centre of nests). (???)
- p63 +ve/-ve.
EMA limited to the cytoplasmic membrane oriented toward the stroma. E-cadherin absent on the cytoplasmic membrane oriented toward the stroma. Hypothesized to indicate an inversion of cell polarization and a disturbance in the cell adhesion molecules.[7]
