T2 |
101-233 |
DRI_Background |

TIVE: To study the clinicopathologic features and differential diagnosis of 18 cases of endocrine ductal carcinoma-in-situ (E-DCIS). |
T3 |
243-373 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Eighteen cases of breast cancer with features of E-DCIS were studied by light microscopy, histochemistry and immunohistochemistry. |
T4 |
374-631 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
E-DCIS was diagnosed if the histologic patterns were compatible with those described in the literature and at least 50% of the tumor cells expressing two of the three neuroendocrine markers employed (chromogranin, synaptophysin and neuron-specific enolase). |
T5 |
641-679 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
E-DCIS tended to occur in older women. |
T6 |
680-740 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
All the patients were over 61 years old (mean age=71 years). |
T7 |
741-822 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
The presenting symptoms were either palpable breast mass or had nipple discharge. |
T8 |
823-899 |
DRI_Unspecified |
denotes |
Histologically, E-DCIS demonstrated an expansile intraductal growth pattern. |
T9 |
900-975 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Intraductal papilloma was not uncommon at the peripheral area of the tumor. |
T10 |
976-1135 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
The tumor cells were polygonal, oval or spindle in shape and contained abundant eosinophilic to granular cytoplasm and mildly to moderately pleomorphic nuclei. |
T11 |
1136-1261 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Intracellular or extracellular mucin was highlighted by periodic acid-Schiff (with diastase digestion) or alcian blue stains. |
T12 |
1262-1315 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Some tumor cells assumed a signet-ring configuration. |
T13 |
1316-1405 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
All the three neuroendocrine markers were expressed by more than 50% of the E-DCIS cells. |
T14 |
1406-1488 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
The neuroendocrine differentiation was further confirmed in some cases by CD57 and |

. |
T17 |
1510-1660 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
Pagetoid spread into adjacent ductolobular units was frequently seen in E-DCIS, and the expanded lobules were often not rimmed by myoepithelial cells. |
T18 |
1661-1739 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
These two features helped to distinguish E-DCIS from usual ductal hyperplasia. |
T19 |
1753-1871 |
DRI_Background |

denotes |
Conventional light microscopy usually permits a correct diagnosis. |
T21 |
1939-2028 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Ancillary histochemical and immunohistochemical studies can be helpful in doubtful cases. |
