Background: The presence of highly cellular stromal fragments in breast fine needle aspirates (FNA) suggests some classical differential diagnoses such as cellular fibroadenoma, phyllodes tumour (PT), metaplastic carcinomas, and some mesenchymal/myoepithelial proliferations. The other components of the smears can help in the differential diagnosis, but the presence of a low-grade epithelial proliferation does not always represent a fibro-epithelial lesion as we demonstrate in these two cases. Cases: We discuss two cases of breast FNA, previously presented in a slide seminar at the 29th European Congress of Pathology in Amsterdam, where the common cytological finding was the presence of stromal cellular fragments together with an epithelial component. One case is a typical PT and the other is a case of a mammary carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells. Conclusion: Mammary carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells is an unusual type of breast carcinoma that should be included in the differential diagnosis of breast lesions containing cellular stroma. Since the associated carcinoma is usually low grade, careful evaluation for malignant cells on cytological smears is necessary for an accurate differential diagnosis with PT where the epithelial component is benign.

ABSTRACT Cytodiagnostic fine needle aspiration biopsy specimens from toxic goitres were studied for signs of lymphoid infiltration. Comparison with histological sections of specimens obtained by surgery showed that an excess of lymphoid cells in the aspirate smears corresponded to a large number of lymphoid foci in these sections. Excess of lymphoid cells in the fine needle aspirates was also positively correlated with the occurrence of circulating thyroid antibodies against thyroglobulin and/or cytoplasmic antigen, but not with the presence of the long-acting thyroid stimulating factor, LATS. It also varied with age in that it was most common in the youngest patients and in patients between 40–55 years, while lymphoid infiltration was seldom seen in patients over 55 years. A finding of practical clinical interest was that in toxic goitres with cytological signs of lymphoid infiltration hyperthyroidism had less tendency to recur after treatment with thiocarbamide drugs than in those without such signs.
