Background: Pure mucinous carcinoma is a rare histologic type of mammary neoplasm and may exist as mixed mucinous-ductal carcinoma. This study aims to describe fine needle aspiration cytology features of mucinous carcinoma of breast diagnosed in Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Nepal over the period of 2 years and to correlate with histological findings.Materials and Methods: There were a total of 8 cases of mucinous carcinoma of breast, diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology in TUTH during the period from April 2010 to March 2012. The patient’s age, laterality of involvement, fine needle aspiration cytology features, gross and histological findings, type of surgery performed and tumor size were evaluated. Fine needle aspiration cytology smears were evaluated for cellularity, amount of mucin, chicken-wire vasculature and nuclear atypia.Results: Fine needle aspiration cytology provided a pre-operative diagnosis of mucinous carcinoma in 5 cases and mixed mucinous carcinoma-invasive ductal carcinoma in 3 cases. Histological examination showed pure mucinous carcinoma in 3 cases, mixed mucinous carcinoma-invasive ductal carcinoma in 4 cases and mixed cribriform carcinoma and ductal carcinoma in 1 case.Conclusion: Mucinous carcinoma may appear clinically and radiologically benign and fine needle aspiration cytology plays important role in the correct pre-operative diagnosis. Significant nuclear pleomorphism and necrosis, in addition to extracellular mucin suggests mixed mucinous carcinomainvasive ductal carcinoma.Journal of Pathology of Nepal (2012) Vol. 2, 285-288DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jpn.v2i4.6879

Background: Breast tuberculosis is uncommon even in countries where the incidence of pulmonary and extra pulmonary tuberculosis is high. The incidence of breast tuberculosis is less than 1% of the total breast pathologies in the world.Methods: This is a prospective study wherein all cases of breast tuberculosis with age above 18 years with only primary breast tuberculosis in both sexes. A total of 40 patients were diagnosed with breast tuberculosis. Most of the patients were treated as outpatient. All the patients were subjected to Imaging (Ultrasonagram or Mammogram) and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). When FNAC was in conclusive, core needle biopsy was done. When none of the investigations were contributive, patient was subjected to excision biopsy. The tissue was sent for histopatho logical examination, gene xpert, AFB culture and sensitivity.Results: Diagnosis of breast tuberculosis was confirmed in all the 40 patients either with fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy. All patients were with anti-tuberculous treatment as per the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program of India (RNTCP). All patients responded well and had complete recovery. Overall prognosis of breast tuberculosis was good.Conclusions: Breast tuberculosis is often mistaken for carcinoma breast. Clinical examination often fails to differentiate carcinoma breast from tuberculosis and a high index of suspicion is necessary. Mammography is not of much help as the findings in carcinoma in advanced stage are similar to that of tubercular lesion.
