✦ Synopsis

Six examples of histologically diagnosed, non-invasive breast carcinomas were studied by electron microscopy to elucidate the ultrastructural features for an accurate diagnosis of in situ carcinoma. The results obtained revealed two patterns of basal lamina/stromal cells relationship. One pattern showed intact basal lamina with associated periductal stromal cells consisting entirely of fibroblasts, the other pattern showed disruption of basal lamina by gaps and malignant cell protrusions with associated stromal cells consisting of both fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. As myofibroblasts are not a component of normal breast stroma but are known to be a prominent feature in the stroma of infiltrating breast carcinoma, the present observations suggest that myofibroblastic proliferation around in situ carcinoma represents an early sign of carcinomatous infiltration. Hence the definitive diagnosis of non-invasive carcinoma of the breast requires an intact basal lamina and a complete absence of a myofibroblastic reaction.

To clarify whether p53 protein expression is involved in multistep carcinogenesis or the progression of mammary ductal carcinoma, we investigated p53 protein expression in 83 invasive ductal carcinomas (IDC), 10 IDC with a predominant intraductal component, 13 non-invasive ductal carcinoma (NIDC), 1
