General
- Rare ~ 0.6% of breast cancer in one series.[2]
- Low grade.
- Good prognosis if pure or associated with a tubular invasive component.[3]
Microscopic
Features:
- Cribriform architecture.
- Desmoplastic stroma.
- +/-Tubular component.
Note:
- Cribriform component should be >90% of the tumour.[4]
DDx:
- Cribriform DCIS.
- Tubular carcinoma of the breast.
- Invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast with cribriform component.
