Mucocele-like lesions of the breast are rare, usually presenting themselves as suspicious findings on imaging, warranting biopsies. It can be associated with several degrees of hyperplasia, including atypical ductal hyperplasia and ductal carcinoma in situ, historically being considered a high-risk lesion. It also can be an underestimated invasive carcinoma in a percutaneous biopsy. When facing a histologic diagnosis of a mucocele-lesion in a percutaneous biopsy, it is important to be aware of these lesions' significance to make the most appropriate interpretation, recommendation, and management. The purpose of this work is to present some cases of breast mucocele-like lesions from our Institution and perform a review of the literature.

Article Synopsis
- Secretory carcinoma (SC) is a rare tumor in salivary glands and was misdiagnosed as a mucocele in a patient.
- A 46-year-old man had swelling in his right buccal area, and imaging indicated a benign cyst, leading to its excision.
- Further analysis confirmed the lesion was actually a macrocystic SC, highlighting that malignant possibilities should be considered even if a non-cancerous lesion is suspected in salivary gland issues.

In a clinical context, oral lymphomas are very uncommon and frequently challenging to identify. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas are a diverse category of lymphomas that were formerly believed to be formed from B-cells located in the marginal zone, which surrounds B-cell follicles and the surrounding lymphoepithelium. Extranodal organs like the stomach, thyroid, and large salivary glands are where they most frequently appear.

Mucocele-like lesions (MLLs) of the breast are rare lesions described as dilated, mucin-filled cysts associated with rupture and extracellular mucin in the surrounding stroma. These lesions are of clinical concern because they can coexist with a spectrum of atypical and malignant findings, including atypical ductal hyperplasia, ductal carcinoma in situ, and invasive carcinoma including mucinous carcinoma. Imaging findings of MLLs are nonspecific and varied, although the most common initial finding is that of incidental coarse heterogeneous calcifications on mammography.

Background: Breast pathology reporting, especially for breast cancer, has evolved through the years, from terse succinct diagnostic conclusions with scant histological details to the current comprehensive reporting guidelines issued by major pathology colleges and bodies, including the International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting. Pathology elements included in reporting guidelines are evidence based and contribute significantly to individualised and personalised patient management.
Summary: This article is based on the lively interactive question and answer session that followed the breast pathology segment in the symposium jointly organised by the British Association of Urological Pathology, British Association of Gynaecological Pathologists, British Society of Gastroenterology and the Association of Breast Pathology, in November 2022, titled "Personalised histopathology reporting for personalised medicine.
