“…None of these cases was diagnosed with confidence clinically before biopsy, which emphasizes awareness among surgeons and pathologists of this unusual but distinctive disorder. This lesion can be diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology, 8,12 which gave a definite diagnosis in 87.5% of the present cases. Once a definite diagnosis is obtained, if the lesion can be excised with a good cosmetic result then excision would be the best option.…”

Keywords:Granulomatous mastitis, AFB, Mastectomy, Tuberculosis breast, ABSTRACTIdiopathic granulomatous mastitis is a rare chronic inflammatory lesion of breast which presents as a spectrum of diseases and is diagnosed only histological. It is often a diagnosis of exclusion in most of the cases. Medical and surgical treatments have been tried with varied success rates and till today no standard protocol could be made in its management though excision remains the treatment of choice in refractory cases which is associated with morbidity more due to psychological factors. In the present case, medical treatment was tried in the initial phase followed by wide excision.

Invasive carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells is an unusual type of mammary adenocarcinoma with few cases reported in the cytology literature. We present the cytologic findings in a case of invasive cribriform carcinoma of the breast containing osteoclast-like giant cells diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration biopsy. The smears displayed three-dimensional cohesive cluster cells of uniform epithelial cells admixed with numerous multinucleated giant cells that morphologically resembled osteoclasts. Core biopsy confirmed the cytologic diagnosis. Immunohistochemical studies indicated that the multinucleated giant cells were of histocytic origin. Knowledge of the bland cytologic pattern and the admixture of giant cells seen in invasive cribriform carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells should avoid making a false negative diagnosis on aspiration biopsy.
