title: Radiology-Pathology conference: papillary carcinoma of the breast.
abstract: Papillary carcinoma of the breast is a rare breast carcinoma. It can be classified into invasive and noninvasive types. It can also be classified into intracystic and intraductal papillary carcinoma. Different radiological features are found to be associated with different histological types. Pitfalls are found to be associated with fine needle aspiration and core biopsy in the evaluation of papillary lesions. It is therefore important for radiologists to diagnose papillary carcinoma for proper management of the patients.
