Immunohistochemistry in the differential diagnosis of breast diseases.
Immunohistochemical techniques provide previously unavailable information about the composition of breast lesions. These data must be evaluated in the pathologic context and must not be used to support a diagnosis inconsistent with the morphological appearance. In the diagnosis of breast lesions, we have found immunohistochemistry of most use in classifying poorly differentiated and spindle-cell tumors.
