Connect Sign InSurprise! Breast Tumors with Unexpected Final Pathology
This talk is organized in two parts to discuss pathology cases with similar morphology, but different diagnoses. Part 1 focuses on variants of invasive lobular carcinoma, their prognostic differences, and their mimics. Part 2 focuses on neuroendocrine tumors of the breast, how they are classified and diagnosed, and includes a discussion of small cell carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare mimic of neuroendocrine tumors in the breast.
