Glycogen-rich clear cell carcinoma of the breast
Diagnosis in short

LM groups of cells with abundant clear cytoplasm - need to comprise 90% of the tumour, variable architecture (cords, trabeculae, clusters, cribriform), minimal nuclear pleomorphism
LM DDx signet-ring cell carcinoma, lipid-rich carcinoma, apocrine carcinoma,secretory carcinoma
Stains PAS +ve, PASD -ve, Oil red O -ve
IHC BRST2 -ve
Grossing notes breast grossing
Staging breast cancer staging
Site breast - see invasive breast cancer

Prevalence very rare
Prognosis similar to NST

Glycogen-rich clear cell carcinoma of the breast is rare type of invasive breast cancer.

It may be abbreviated GRCC.

General

Microscopic

Features:

  • Groups of cells with abundant clear cytoplasm - need to comprise 90% of the tumour.[4]
    • Various architectural arrangements: cords, trabeculae, clusters, cribriform.
    • Minimal nuclear pleomorphism.

Stains

Features:[4]

  • PAS +ve.
  • PASD -ve.

Others:[4]

  • Oil red O -ve.
    • Lipid-rich carcinoma +ve.

IHC

Features:[3]

  • BRST2 -ve.[4]
    • Apocrine carcinoma +ve.
