Benign axillary epithelial lymph node inclusions--a histological pitfall.
We present two cases of axillary epithelial lymph node inclusions in the presence of benign and malignant breast disease. Although the presence of lymph node inclusions is well recognized at other sites in the body, their presence in the axillary nodes of women with breast disease necessitates close attention. This is particularly true in women with malignant breast disease as misinterpretation may lead to inappropriate treatment.
