title: Fine needle aspiration in stromal sarcoma of the breast. Light and electron microscopic findings with histologic correlation.
abstract: Stromal sarcoma of the breast, according to current concepts, is a rare lesion arising from the stroma surrounding the ductal epithelium. A case of this neoplasm is reported, with light and electron microscopic findings in fine needle aspirates and correlation with histologic findings. The findings, similar to those previously reported for stromal sarcoma of the breast, included a less-pleomorphic morphologic picture than is seen in malignant fibrous histiocytoma, but a more primitive ultrastructural appearance.
