Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is a common tumor of the salivary gland, but rarely occurs in the breast. PA of the breast is a benign tumor that usually presents as a periareolar nodule. Core-needle biopsies may yield misdiagnosis with complex fibroadenoma, phyllodes tumor and metaplastic breast cancer due to the mixture of stromal and epithelial elements. We present a case of PA of the breast suspected after core-needle biopsy, but confirmed after surgical excision. The importance to make a correct diagnosis consists in avoid extensive unnecessary surgery, such as mastectomy, since PA can be treated with local surgical resection.

Abstract Purpose: Atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) is a high risk lesion with an increased risk of developing breast cancer. This study aims to identify factors predictive of malignant upgrade for ADH diagnosed on core needle biopsy (CNB) and to develop a nomogram to facilitate evidence-based decision making.Methods: Retrospective analysis of women with CNB diagnosed ADH at the National Cancer Centre Singapore between 2010 and 2015 was performed. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to identify independent clinical, radiological and histological factors associated with malignant upgrade. A nomogram was constructed and multivariable logistic regression coefficients were used to estimate the predicted probability of upgrade for each factor combination. Combinations with the lowest predicted probabilities (≤5%) were identified as low risk. Model sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were assessed.Results: From 2010-2015, 238,122 women underwent screening under the national breast cancer screening programme. 29,564 women were recalled and 5742 CNBs were performed, of which 2686 were performed at NCCS. 88 patients (90 lesions) were diagnosed with ADH. 26 lesions were upgraded to a breast malignancy on excision biopsy. On univariate analysis, presence of a mass on either ultrasound (p= 0.018) or mammogram (p=0.026), presence of mammographic microcalcifications (p=0.047), diffuse microcalcification distribution (p=0.034), mammographic parenchymal density (p=0.008), presence of microcalcifications on biopsy (p=0.037) and three or more separate foci of ADH found on biopsy (p=0.024) were associated with malignant upgrade. Mammographic parenchymal density (Hazard ratio= 0.04, 95% CI 0.005-0.35, p=0.014), presence of a mass on ultrasound (Hazard ratio= 10.50, 95% CI 9.21-25.2, p=0.010) and number of foci of ADH (Hazard ratio = 1.877, 95% CI 1.831-1.920, p=0.002) remained significant on multivariate analysis and were included in the normogram which demonstrated good discrimination with C-statistic of 0.81 [95% CI, 0.74 to 0.88].Conclusion: Our model provides good discrimination of breast cancer risk prediction in patients with ADH on CNB. A subset of women at low risk (<5%) of upgrade to cancer may avoid surgical excision following a core-needle biopsy diagnosis of ADH.

Purpose. Surgical excision is recommended for complete evaluation of cellular fibroepithelial lesions identified from core needle biopsy. The purpose of this study was to determine factors associated with phyllodes tumor among cellular fibroepithelial lesions from core biopsies and develop a scoring system to predict the risk of phyllodes tumor. Methods. We retrospectively reviewed clinical data of 169 breast lesions that were diagnosed as cellular fibroepithelial lesions from core needle biopsy at the Seoul National University Bundang Hospital between March 2005 and January 2013. The clinical, histopathologic, and radiologic characteristics were compared between phyllodes tumors and fibroadenomas during the final diagnosis after surgical excision. Results. Of the 169 lesions, 17 were observed and 152 were surgically removed. After excision, final pathology revealed 60 (39.5%) fibroadenomas and 92 (60.5%) phyllodes tumors. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that age (≥40 years), stromal overgrowth, and stromal cellularity were independent factors associated with phyllodes tumors. A scoring system was developed based on a multivariate logistic regression model, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.828 (95% confidence interval = 0.763-0.893). Conclusion. The scoring system will help clinicians make appropriate treatment for patients with cellular fibroepithelial lesions on core needle biopsy.
