ABSTRACT
To study the clinicopathological features of breast carcinoma with responsive granuloma. MethodsFive cases of breast carcinomas with responsive granuloma were investigated by morphological observation. ResultsAll the five patients had noncaseating epithelioid granulomas. Multinucleated giant cells, predominantly of Langhans type, were present in granulomas. The granulomas were restricted to the carcinoma, and no responsive granulomas were evident in the regional lymph nodes. None of the patients had clinical evidence of systemic granulomatous disease. ConclusionDifferential diagnosis of breast carcinoma with responsive granuloma should include the carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells, metaplastic the carcinoma with osteoclastic giant cells, granulomatous lobular mastitis, stromal responsive giant cells, and carcinoma with sarcoidosis or tuberculosis of the breast.
