Well-differentiated carcinoma of the breast.
TLDR
Because axillary involvement is almost always limited to 1 or 2 lymph nodes in the lower axillary region, modified mastectomy (Auchincloss) is advocated for this type of carcinoma of the breast.Abstract:
Well‐differentiated carcinoma is a specific type of mammary carcinoma easily mistaken for sclerosing adenosis because of its deceptively innocent histologic appearance. A study of 33 patients with well‐differentiated carcinoma of the breast was carried out to determine the clinical behavior of the lesion. The clinical findings in these patients were similar to those of women with other types of mammary carcinoma. The tumors tended to be small (median diameter, 1.6 cm), but metastasis to axillary lymph nodes was nonetheless present in 10 patients (30%). The prognosis is quite favorable, even when there are positive axillary lymph nodes, as only one patient in this series died of metastatic carcinoma. Because axillary involvement is almost always limited to 1 or 2 lymph nodes in the lower axillary region, modified mastectomy (Auchincloss) is advocated for this type of carcinoma of the breast.read more

TL;DR: It becomes evident that the guidelines followed in the examination of these specimens appear to represent at least the minimum requirements necessary for a meaningful pathologic evaluation of breast carcinoma.

Histologic variants of infiltrating lobular carcinoma of the breast.
TL;DR: Thirty-eight breasts with lobular carcinoma in situ and an additional intraductal or infiltrating cancer were studied and it is believed that one of the additional cancers was a variant of infiltraing lobular cancer and should be diagnosed as such.

TL;DR: ICC is a histologically and clinically distinctive type of mammary carcinoma that should be separated from IDC and other tumor types.

Tubular carcinoma of the breast.
TL;DR: The combined TC and T&D group showed a significant incidence of multiple cancers in the ipsilateral breast and a significant trend toward bilateral cancers when compared to controls.

The influence of pathologic factors on breast cancer management
TL;DR: The pathologist routinely provides to the therapist data which are used in the management of breast cancer patients, including in situ carcinoma and small (0.5 cm) infiltrating cancers, although therapy is not yet uniform.

TL;DR: A more conservative approach to the Type I and Type II tumors appears to be justified after the ability of an experienced surgical pathologist to predict from microscopic examination of primary mammary carcinomas whether axillary metastases existed in the radical mastectomy specimens was assessed.
