RESUMO

Atypical parathyroid tumor (APT) is a rare neoplasm of the parathyroid gland, which shows atypical cytological or architectural features and lacks definite diagnosis criteria for malignancy. These cases can cause diagnostic challenges owing to their rarity and similarity with thyroid neoplasm on imaging and fine needle aspiration cytology. Also, differentiating APT from giant parathyroid adenoma or parathyroid carcinoma can be challenging based on clinical, imaging or cytological features. A 49-year-old male presented with clinical features of hyperparathyroidism. On laboratory evaluation, his serum calcium and serum parathyroid hormone was elevated. Imaging studies suggested a possibility of left inferior parathyroid neoplasm, and fine needle aspiration cytology showed features suggestive of parathyroid neoplasm. However, exact categorization of parathyroid tumor was difficult in pre-operative work-up. Possibilities of giant parathyroid adenoma as well as parathyroid carcinoma were considered. A final diagnosis of an atypical parathyroid tumor was made after detailed histopathological evaluation given focal capsular invasion but lack of unequivocal evidence of malignancy in the resected specimen. APT is a rare neoplasm of uncertain malignant potential. Knowledge of the radiological and pathological features will be helpful in accurately identifying the lesion and avoiding misdiagnosis.

RESUMO

Secretory carcinoma of the breast (SBC) is a rare breast neoplasm. Most of the patients present at an early stage with a relatively indolent clinical course. Lymph node and distant metastasis are also very infrequent. The histomorphological features of the secretory breast carcinoma are quite characteristic. Predominantly three histological patterns, solid, microcystic, and tubular, have been noted with copious amounts of intra and extracellular secretory material. Most commonly, no positivity for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and ERBB2(HER2/neu) is observed in SBCs. As SBC can occasionally be hormone receptor-positive, they should not be categorized in the triple-negative breast carcinoma (TNBC) group in general. A very characteristic genetic translocation t (12;15) has been noted in this rare tumor, resulting in a fusion between ETV6 and NTRK3 proteins. We present a case of a 60-year-old lady who presented with right breast lump of 1-month duration and was managed by lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node dissection. Axillary dissection was not performed because the sentinel lymph node biopsy was negative. Postoperative radiotherapy was given to the right breast with a boost to the tumor bed. No adjuvant chemotherapy was given No recurrence has been noted even after a year of the completion of treatment.
