Item Name: Breast Cytopathology: Diagnostic Pitfalls
Amy Ly, MD

Presentation date: April 24, 2012; Expires: April 24, 2015

Breast FNA specimens may be diagnostically challenging and it can be tempting to
diagnose “atypical” or “suspicious for malignancy.” However, cytopathology is most
useful if we can minimize the use of grey‐zone diagnostic categories. During this
webinar, we will briefly review morphologic features of commonly encountered breast
lesions. We will then address how to distinguish between various specific diagnostic
mimics in the context of a pattern‐based approach.

Item Name: Cytologic Features of Various Types of Breast Carcinoma Including Potential False Negative and Positive Diagnosis in Breast Aspirates                 
Bettina G Papouchado, M.D.                                                                             

Presentation date: October 26, 2010; Expires: October 26, 2013

Fine-needle aspiration of the breast is an established diagnostic method in the evaluation of palpable breast masses. This teleconference will review the cytopathologic features of some of the more commonly encountered breast carcinomas as well as common differential diagnostic dilemmas and pitfalls commonly encountered in the daily practice of breast cytopathology. The discussions will emphasize the distinction of benign lesions from morphologically similar malignant ones.
