Secretory carcinoma of the breast
Diagnosis in short
LM DDx lactational change
IHC ER -ve, PR -ve, HER2 -ve, alpha-lactalbumin +ve, S-100 +ve, polyclonal CEA +ve
Site breast - see invasive breast cancer
Prevalence rare
Prognosis favourable

Secretory carcinoma of the breast is an uncommon form of invasive breast cancer that has an appearance similar to breast with lactational changes.

It is also known as secretory breast carcinoma (abbreviated SBC) and breast secretory carcinoma.

General

  • Favourable prognosis.[1]
  • Children and adults.

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • Abundant cytoplasm with fine vacuolation - clear/pale or amphophilic.
  • Mitoses - uncommon.
  • Nucleoli - rare.
  • Architecture: solid, papillary, cribriform or microcystic.

DDx:

Images

IHC

Triple negative (ER -ve, PR -ve, HER2 -ve).[1]

Others:

  • Alpha-lactalbumin +ve.
  • S-100 protein +ve.
  • Polyclonal CEA +ve.

Molecular pathology

Characteristic translocation:[1]

  • t(12;15).
    • ETV6-NTRK3.
