Lipid Rich Carcinoma of the Breasts -Report of a case and review of literature -

Abstract
|
|
|
Lipid rich carcinoma is a rare subtype recently separated from the usual types of
breast carcinoma by its morphologic characteristics and rather poor prognosis than the
letters.
We have experienced a case of lipid rich carcmoma in a 46 year old woman who had
a slowly growing palpable mass in her right breast without nipple retraction. Grossly,
the tumor was 3cm in diameter and poorly demarcated. The cut surfaces were uniformly
firm but not as hard, and grayish white colored. Microscopically, the mass consisted of
sheens and strands of malignant cells, having infiltrative borders throughout a fibrous
matrix. The tumor cells were large and had faintly eosinophilic cytoplasms which were
somewhat bubbly or vacuolated. The nuclei were fairly regular, although in some areas
thor were pleomorphic and hyperchromatic. Large amount of lipid wag demonstrated
within the cytoplasm by oil red-O stain applied to frozen sections. It is interest that
both the peripheral portion of the breast mass and the metastatic lesion of the axillary
node contained areas of typical infiltrating ductal cell carcinoma.
