Collagenous spherulosis is a benign change of the breast that can be confused for a malignancy.
It is also known as mucinous spherulosis, and spherulosis.[1]
General
- Benign.
- Usually an incidental (microscopic) finding.[2]
- Can mimic ADH, cribriform DCIS, adenoid cystic carcinoma.[3]
Gross
- Usually small, typically 1-3 mm.[3]
Note:
Microscopic
- Tubular/cribriform architecture.
- Intratubular eosinophilic material - key feature.
- Classical: Arranged like the spokes of a wheel ("radial spikes").
- Atypical: Granules ~ 1-2 micrometers.
- No mitotic activity.
- Two cells populations (epithelial & myoepithelial) - like a well-behaved breast gland.
Notes:
- Usually small lesions: < 50 spherules per lesion, <100 micrometers.
- May be multifocal.
- +/-Calcifications - may prompt biopsy.
