From a clinical perspective, the diagnoses fall into three broad categories: benign, atypical and malignant with patients then being managed according to established guidelines. However, the pathologic diagnosis can sometimes be challenging, and the distinction between these categories is sometimes far more subtle and subjective than non-pathologist may understand. One recurring diagnostic challenge in breast pathology is the diagnosis of atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) versus ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). While many cases are straightforward, others are quite borderline and challenging to classify consistently with significant interobserver variation amongst pathologists. The distinction between ADH and DCIS is critical from a clinical management perspective because one is treated as a risk factor, and the other as a malignancy that will be completely surgically excised and may require radiation therapy. This review will address the spectrum of ADH and DCIS with the associated diagnostic challenges in the real-world setting from presentation at core needle biopsy to surgery.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49548,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Diagnostic Pathology","volume":"41 6","pages":"Pages 252-257"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142267060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current World Health Organization classifies ApAC as mucinous or nonmucinous. Mucinous ApAC are composed of pools of mucin lined by cells with low- and high-grade cytology and areas of infiltrative invasion. Nonmucinous ApAC histologically resemble conventional colorectal adenocarcinomas and have a worse prognosis than their mucinous counterpart. Unfortunately, the nomenclature and histologic classification of ApAC, specifically the mucinous subtype, has changed several times throughout the years, contributing to diagnostic confusion for pathologists. The treatment for mucinous ApAC differs from that of other appendiceal mucinous neoplasms, thus accurate diagnosis is key to patient management and outcome. This review discusses the current classification and staging of ApAC with a particular emphasis on the mucinous subtype and peritoneal disease, as these areas are the most challenging for practicing surgical pathologists.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49548,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Diagnostic Pathology","volume":"41 5","pages":"Pages 213-221"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0740257024000704/pdfft?md5=39f03b1d3dfa4cae71f84dc71896b7ce&pid=1-s2.0-S0740257024000704-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142114072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
