Concurrent or synchronous angiosarcoma (AS) of breast is a rarity. Specific recognition of this neoplasm in cytological specimens is difficult and conclusive diagnosis in the absence of ancillary methods is achieved only uncommonly. Herein, we present a case of bilateral AS of breasts in a 32-year-old lady diagnosed by fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology, thus enabling a definitive surgical approach. This case report emphasizes that when aspiration smears show vasoformative features consisting of microacini, arborizing microtissue fragments and intracytoplasmic lumen against a bloody background, diagnosis can be made conclusively by FNA with immunohistochemical confirmation.
乳腺并发或同步性血管肉瘤(AS)实属罕见。在细胞学标本中特异性识别这种肿瘤很困难,在没有辅助方法的情况下,只有极少数能做出确定性诊断。在此,我们报告一例32岁女性双侧乳腺血管肉瘤,通过细针穿刺(FNA)细胞学诊断,从而得以采取明确的手术方法。本病例报告强调,当穿刺涂片显示出由微腺泡、树枝状微组织碎片和血性背景下的胞浆内腔组成的血管形成特征时,通过FNA并经免疫组化证实可做出确定性诊断。
