Overcoming Pitfalls in Breast Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology: A Practical Review.

Background: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a cornerstone technique for the initial assessment of breast lesions, offering a rapid and minimally invasive option for cytological evaluation. While FNACs can forego the need for core needle biopsies (CNBs), variations in technique, subjective interpretation, and intrinsic limitations present diagnostic challenges. The International Academy of Cytology (IAC) established the Yokohama system and is developing the WHO Reporting System for Breast Cytopathology jointly with IARC, to standardize diagnostic criteria, aiming to enhance diagnostic precision and consistency.

Collagenous spherulosis (CS) is a rare breast lesion of unknown histogenesis. Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare basal-like breast carcinoma with low histological grade. CS is a benign lesion but resembles ACC.

The co-existence of granulomatous mastitis and collagenous spherulosis in a breast lump is an uncommon finding. The awareness of cytomorphological features can help corroborate a cytological diagnosis. A palpable breast lump in an elderly female warrants urgent attention and fine needle aspiration is a rapid, reliable method of evaluation.

Article Synopsis
  • Breast adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) shares similarities with basal-like triple-negative breast carcinoma (TNBC) but has a better prognosis, making precise diagnosis important.
  • A new method, MYB RNA in situ hybridization (ISH), is highlighted for its effectiveness in identifying AdCC and shows promise for use in other breast cancer types.
  • The study found that MYB RNA ISH overexpression is common in AdCC but rare in TNBC, suggesting that this test could aid in distinguishing between these types of breast cancer.
