Case 1


68-year-old female. 2-cm breast mass. Iac0 Ductal carcinoma with mucinous features.

Case 2


19F • palpable firm ovoid 2.0 x 1.5 cm mobile nodule in left breast at 3:00 at 3 cm from the areola. No imaging performed. Ai293 Fibroadenoma.

- Complex branching groups of proliferative appearing ductal epithelial cells with associated myoepithelial cells. - Abundant naked stromal nuclei in background.

- Few fragments of more or less dense fibrous stroma • rarely delicate specialized stroma.

Case 3


52 YO female with right breast mass Ndk6 Adenocarcinoma

Case 4


41 YO female with breast mass and suspicious mammogram Ndk6 Ductal carcinoma with papillary and high grade nuclear features

Case 5


41 YO female with breast mass Ndk6 Negative for malignancy- consistent with fibroadenoma

Case 7


60 YO female s/p mastectomy with nodule in right lateral breast flap Ndk6 Negative for malignancy- abundant debris • fibroadipose tissue • and numerous macrophages • including multinucleate forms c/w fat necrosis

Case 8


48 YO female with self discovered mass at 11:00 left breast measuring 3 cm Ndk6 Ductal carcinoma

Case 9


33 YO female with suspicious left breast mass Ndk6 High grade ductal carcinoma with extensive necrosis
