Fine needle aspiration cytology of lipid-secreting breast carcinoma. A case report.
Lipid-secreting carcinoma is a rare type of invasive carcinoma of the breast first described by Aboumrad et al in 1963. We believe lipid-secreting carcinoma to be a specific type of breast carcinoma and that it has to be differentiated from invasive lobular carcinoma. We report for the first time the fine needle aspiration cytologic features along with the histologic and electron microscopic findings.
