*[[AKA]] ''encapsulated papillary carcinoma of the breast'', abbreviated ''EPC''.

*Very good prognosis<ref name=pmid21753694>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Rakha | first1 = EA. | last2 = Gandhi | first2 = N. | last3 = Climent | first3 = F. | last4 = van Deurzen | first4 = CH. | last5 = Haider | first5 = SA. | last6 = Dunk | first6 = L. | last7 = Lee | first7 = AH. | last8 = Macmillan | first8 = D. | last9 = Ellis | first9 = IO. | title = Encapsulated papillary carcinoma of the breast: an invasive tumor with excellent prognosis. | journal = Am J Surg Pathol | volume = 35 | issue = 8 | pages = 1093-103 | month = Aug | year = 2011 | doi = 10.1097/PAS.0b013e31821b3f65 | PMID = 21753694 }}</ref> - it is similar to [[DCIS]].

===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<ref>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Collins | first1 = LC. | last2 = Schnitt | first2 = SJ. | title = Papillary lesions of the breast: selected diagnostic and management issues. | journal = Histopathology | volume = 52 | issue = 1 | pages = 20-9 | month = Jan | year = 2008 | doi = 10.1111/j.1365-2559.2007.02898.x | PMID = 18171414 }}

***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:
***[[Nuclear atypia]] - including: nucleoli, [[nuclear pleomorphism]].
 
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.

*[[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<ref>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Rizzo | first1 = M. | last2 = Linebarger | first2 = J. | last3 = Lowe | first3 = MC. | last4 = Pan | first4 = L. | last5 = Gabram | first5 = SG. | last6 = Vasquez | first6 = L. | last7 = Cohen | first7 = MA. | last8 = Mosunjac | first8 = M. | title = Management of papillary breast lesions diagnosed on core-needle biopsy: clinical pathologic and radiologic analysis of 276 cases with surgical follow-up. | journal = J Am Coll Surg | volume = 214 | issue = 3 | pages = 280-7 | month = Mar | year = 2012 | doi = 10.1016/j.jamcollsurg.2011.12.005 | PMID = 22244207 }}</ref>.
*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===
*Loss of myoepithelial markers within the lesion.
