It is also known as nodular myofibroblastic stromal hyperplasia of the mammary gland.[1]
General
Gross
Features:[2]
- May form mass: grey-white & firm, with well circumscribed borders.
Microscopic
- Abundant breast stromal.
- Small, complex, inter-anastomosing (blood vessel/capillary-like) channels - key feature.
- Pseudoangiomatous = blood vessel-like.
Notes:
- May mimic angiosarcoma at low power; PASH may have the same architecture but lack nuclear atypia.
- Occasionally has mitotic activity - proliferative PASH.
