More Information
Summary:The tumour was therefore considered to be generally benign but solid and had a cystic pattern admixture with unusual ultrasonographic findings. Since malignancy could not be completely excluded, and in accordance with the patient's request, a needle biopsy was performed. IE is believed to fall into this category, as the overall morphological and immunophenotypic characteristics were consistent with IE. [...]the absence of myoepithelial cells has been documented in other lesions of an obscure nature, such as in the centre of sclerotic lesions and throughout microglandular adenosis. 7 The latter is characterised by a local infiltrative nature but without evidence of metastasis.
