Objective: To investigate the expression of high-molecular-weight keratins CK5/6, CK14, estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) in differential diagnosis of simple ductal hyperplasia (UDH), atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) and low-grade ductal carcinoma in situ (low-grade DCIS) .
Methods: The clinicopathological data of twenty cases of atypical ductal epithelial hyperplasia (ADH) with focal cancerization changed into low-grade DCIS diagnosed at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital between January 2013 and February 2014 were reviewed and analyzed. The expressions of CK5/6, CK14, ER and PR were detected by immunohistochemistry.
Results: Positive expressions of CK5/6 and CK14 were seen in UDH showing a mosaic pattern, while negative expression in ADH and low-grade DCIS. In addition, CK5/6 and CK14 were positively expressed in the myoepithelial cells of UDH, ADH and low-grade DCIS. Positive expressions of ER and PR were observed in UDH, ADH and low-grade DCIS. But they presented diffuse and homogeneous strong positive expression in ADH and variable positive expression in UDH.
Conclusion: In the intraductal proliferative lesions of the breast, the use of combined detection of the expression of CK5/6, CK14, ER and PR is of practical significance in the differential diagnosis of UDH, ADH and low-grade DCIS.

Background: Lynch syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition that leads to an increased risk of many neoplasms. In the United Kingdom, NICE recommends that patients with colorectal and endometrial cancer should be tested for Lynch syndrome. There is conflicting evidence in the literature on the link between breast cancer and Lynch syndrome.

Urothelial carcinoma (UC) with myxoid stroma or chordoid features is a rare diagnosis. We retrospectively collected data from 17 cases of diagnosed UC with myxoid stroma, mucin production, or chordoid features. We aimed to investigate the molecular subtypes of this neoplasm and to assess subtype correlations with clinical outcomes.

Tubo-ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HG-SC) and ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (EC) can show overlapping morphologic features, such as glandular and solid patterns. The differential diagnosis of these subtypes is thus sometimes difficult. The existence of "squamous differentiation" tends to lead to a diagnosis of EC rather than HG-SC.
