36 2. Non-neoplastic and Proliferative Lesions• “Chicken-wire” or arborizing capillaries, often with proliferatingfibroblasts• Epithelioid histiocytes can be overinterpreted as malignantepithelial cells; and/or ductal epithelial fragments presentin the smear are overcalled because of the significant reactiveatypia present• Reactive epithelial atypia associated with fat necrosis hasresulted in false-positive diagnoses of cancerPitfalls and Differential Diagnosis• Ductal carcinomaMucocelelike LesionClinical Features• Rare lesion often quite small, usually a diagnosticproblem on FNA (differentiation from mucinouscarcinoma)• Often associated with fibrocystic changes and is thought tooriginate from ruptured mucinous cyst into breast stromaltissuesCytomorphologic Characteristics(Figures 2.18 and 2.19)• Smears with scant cellularity• Small epithelial fragments, monomorphic, lack ofatypia• Abundant background mucin• Muciphages, in varying numbers• Occasional bare myoepithelial nucleiPitfalls and Differential Diagnosis• Colloid carcinoma
Mucocelelike Lesion 37Figure 2.18. Mucocele. Thick, abundant mucinous background containingrare macrophages. These lesions are devoid of ductal epithelium,a helpful finding to distinguish them from well-differentiatedmucinous carcinoma. (Smear, Diff-Quik.)Figure 2.19. Mucocele. Higher magnification shows numerousmucin-containing macrophages in a thick mucinous background.(Smear, Diff Quik.)
