Intracystic papillary carcinoma of the breast, also known as encapsulated papillary carcinoma of the breast (abbreviated EPC), is an uncommon type of breast cancer with a very good prognosis.

General

  • Very good prognosis[1] - it is similar to DCIS.
  • Classical menopausal women.
  • ~30% present with bloody discharge.[2]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Lesion confined to a cyst.
    • May have a thick fibrous capsule
    • The involved space is not lined by myoepithelial cells.
  • The cyst contains an abnormal epithelial proliferation with cribriform, solid or papillary architecture.
    • Loss of myoepithelial cells within the epithelial proliferation is a key feature.
    • Scattered large cells with pale eosinophilic cytoplasm may be observed[3].
      • These cells are so-called globoid cells or clear cells and are immunoreactive for GCDFP-15.
      • They should not be mistaken for myoepithelial cells.
    • Neoplastic epithelial cells:

  • Breast - Intracystic Papillary Carcinoma - High power (SKB)

  • Breast - Papillary Intracystic Carcinoma, Solid Variant - low power (SKB)

  • Breast - Papillary Intracystic Carcinoma, Solid Variant - medium power (SKB)

  • Breast - Papillary Intracystic Carcinoma, Solid Variant - medium power (SKB)

  • Breast - Papillary Intracystic Carcinoma, Solid Variant - high power (SKB)

  • Breast - Papillary Intracystic Carcinoma, Solid Variant - high power (SKB)

  • Breast - Intracystic papillary adenocarcinoma (top) with associated invasive ductal carcinoma (bottom) (SKB)

DDx[4][5]:

  • Intraductal papilloma.
    • Absent or scant stroma favors papillary carcinoma over papilloma.
    • Is there a single cell or dual cell population in the lesion?
      • ER staining will be heterologous in a benign lesion.
      • Myoepithelial markers (calponin/p63/SMA +ve)s hould be positive in a benign lesion.
  • Papillary ductal carcinoma in situ
    • Papillary DCIS shows myoepithelial cells (calponin/p63/SMA +ve) at the periphery of the involved spaces
    • But papillary DCIS should be negative for myoepithelial cells within the focus of DCIS
    • Papillary intracystic carcinoma does not show myoepithelial cells at the periphery of the involved spaces
  • Invasive papillary carcinoma of the breast
    • Similar architecture but no cystic space, frankly invasive.
    • Very rare.
  • Invasive carcinoma arising in association with papillary intracystic carcinoma
    • Epithelial entrapment in the encysting fibrous tissue should not be interpreted as invasion.
    • Carcinoma must be seen in the breast tissue outside the encysting fibrous tissue.
    • Infiltrating carcinoma is usually of the 'no special type' variety.
  • Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast
    • The solid variant looks basaloid - solid adenoid cystic carcinoma or a 'basal-like' carcinoma should be considered in these cases.

Notes

  • Many potential pitfalls with papillary breast lesions on needle core biopsy.
    • Complete excision is recommended[6].
  • Adequately and carefully sample the specimen to exclude an invasive component.
  • Report only the size of the invasive component (if present) to prevent over-estimation of tumor stage.

IHC

  • Calponin/p63/SMA/CK5-6.
    • Loss of myoepithelial cells within the tumour.
    • Loss of myoepithelial cells at the cyst wall.
  • ER - Homogeneous staining of the epithelial proliferation.
