Cytologic criteria reported to be helpful in the distinction of proliferative breast disease without atypia (PBD) from nonproliferative breast disease (NPBD) have not been rigorously tested.
Fifty-one air-dried, Diff-Quik-stained fine-needle aspirates (FNA) of palpable breast lesions with biopsy-proven diagnoses of NPBD (34 cases) or PBD (17 cases) were reviewed. The smears were evaluated for the cellularity, size, and architectural arrangement of the epithelial groups; the presence of single epithelial cells and myoepithelial cells; and nuclear characteristics.
The only cytologic feature found to be significantly different between PBD and NPBD was a swirling pattern of epithelial cells. A swirling pattern was noted in 13 of 17 PBD cases (76%) and 12 of 34 NPBD cases (35%) (P = 0.008).
Because there is significant overlap in cytologic features between NPBD and PBD, the distinction between the two entities is difficult in cytologic sampling.
据报道,有助于区分无异型增生的乳腺增生性疾病(PBD)与非增生性乳腺疾病(NPBD)的细胞学标准尚未经过严格检验。
回顾了51例经活检证实诊断为NPBD(34例)或PBD(17例)的可触及乳腺病变的风干、Diff-Quik染色细针穿刺抽吸物(FNA)。对涂片进行评估,观察上皮细胞团的细胞密度、大小和结构排列;单个上皮细胞和肌上皮细胞的存在情况;以及核特征。
发现PBD和NPBD之间唯一显著不同的细胞学特征是上皮细胞的漩涡状模式。17例PBD病例中有13例(76%)出现漩涡状模式,34例NPBD病例中有12例(35%)出现漩涡状模式(P = 0.008)。
由于NPBD和PBD的细胞学特征存在显著重叠,在细胞学采样中难以区分这两种实体。
