Tall cell carcinoma with reversed polarity (TCCRP) of the breast is a rare entity with low potential for malignancy that exhibits some morphological similarities to the tall cell variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Immunohistochemical and molecular studies help establish the mammary origin of this neoplasm. Here, we describe the case of a 63-year-old woman with a finding of a nodular lesion during a screening mammogram, whose morphological findings and immunohistochemical studies confirmed the diagnosis of papillary high cell carcinoma with the reverse polarity of the mammary gland.
乳腺高细胞癌伴极性反转(TCCRP)是一种罕见的恶性潜能较低的实体瘤,在形态学上与甲状腺乳头状癌的高细胞变体有一些相似之处。免疫组织化学和分子研究有助于确定该肿瘤的乳腺起源。在此,我们报告一例63岁女性,其在乳腺筛查钼靶检查中发现结节性病变,其形态学表现和免疫组织化学研究证实为乳腺极性反转的乳头状高细胞癌。
