Breast Cancer with Neoductgenesis: Histopathological Criteria and Its Correlation with Mammographic and Tumour Features
Table 1
Criteria for scoring the concentration of duct-like structures, lymphocytic infiltration, and periductal fibrosis. The classification of “neoductgenesis” was based on these histopathological criteria. See Figures 1–3.
Scoring
(1) Concentration of duct-like structures and loss of normal ductal-lobular architecture
0
No concentration of duct-like structures and no loss of normal ductal-lobular architecture
1
Focal concentration of duct-like structures and focal loss of normal ductal-lobular architecture
2
General concentration of duct-like structures and loss of normal ductal-lobular architecture
(2) Lymphocytic infiltration
0
No periductal lymphocytic infiltration
1
Mild periductal lymphocytic infiltration
2
Intense periductal lymphocytic infiltration
(3) Fibrosis-like thickening of the periductal stroma
0
No fibrosis-like thickening of the periductal stroma
1
Little fibrosis-like thickening of the periductal stroma
2
Much fibrosis-like thickening of the periductal stroma
