Recurrence of carcinoma in scars following surgical treatment of breast carcinoma is a frequent problem. An early diagnosis of recurrent lesions is essential to enable timely management. In this study, the role of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis of scar lesions was evaluated
Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the breast is a very uncommon neoplasm. Fine-needle aspiration findings have been rarely reported. We report a case of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the breast that was diagnosed as a typical ductal carcinoma cytologically. The patient was a 45-year-old female who had a right bre
Metaplastic carcinomas of the breast are uncommon breast tumors with aberrant cellular differentiation, most commonly showing ductal, squamous, and mesenchymal components. A breast carcinoma composed of both epithelial and melanocytic differentiation is rare, with only four previously reported cases
