Abstract: This study was to assess whether fine needle aspiration (FNA) or core biopsy would allow diagnosis of mucinous carcinoma of breast. In 37 mucinous carcinoma in 34 patients, 20 lesions had FNA and 24 lesions with core biopsy. FNA achieved a sensitivity of 66.7% in diagnosis of malignant lesions and 56% sensitivity in diagnosis of mucinous carcinoma. Core biopsy achieved 100% sensitivity and accuracy in the diagnosis of malignant lesions and mucinous carcinoma. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: Papillary carcinoma of the breast is a rare breast carcinoma. It can be classified into invasive and noninvasive types. It can also be classified into intracystic and intraductal papillary carcinoma. Different radiological features are found to be associated with different histological types. Pitfalls are found to be associated with fine needle aspiration and core biopsy in the evaluation of papillary lesions. It is therefore important for radiologists to diagnose papillary carcinoma for proper management of the patients. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
