FNAC is a reliable tool for diagnosing cancer in suspicious breast lesions with a good sensitivity and PPV in hands of an experienced cytopathologist. Surgical treatment may be safely undertaken based on FNAC particularly in early operable breast cancers suitable for breast conservation.
Epidermal, or inclusion, cysts are frequently seen benign lesions that are lined with stratified squamous epithelium. Malignant transformation of these is rare, occurring in 0.011% to 0.045% cases [1]. We herein report an unusual case of squamous cell carcinoma occurring in an epidermal cyst of the breast in a middle aged lady.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
