Description
Yu-Kai Chang and co-authors present, in a 2024 case report, a breast lesion that looked like creeping cancer under the microscope but was not. Sclerosing adenosis is a common benign tangle of glands and scar-like tissue in middle-aged women. When ductal carcinoma in situ grows inside it, the distorted scene can fake microinvasion, tempting overtreatment.
Their patient, aged 51, had a core biopsy read as high-grade in-situ cancer, highly suspicious for microinvasion. She chose removal of the left breast, and the right for personal reasons. Final pathology found in-situ cancer of middling grade in both breasts, with no true invasion. The authors urge slow, careful pathology on such lesions, since the benign scaffolding bends the cancer's shape into a convincing disguise.
