    Abstract Phyllodes tumor (PT) of the breast is a biphasic neoplasia composed of mesenchymal and epithelial cells. PTs are graded as benign, borderline or malignant according to histological criteria. Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is a special breast cancer subtype defined by non-cohesive growth and loss of E-cadherin. PT is treated by resection. ILC is treated by resection and adjuvant endocrine therapy with or without chemotherapy. Collision tumors composed of PT and concurrent ILC are rare. Due to their dissociated growth, ILC cells may escape histologic detection when admixed with PTs. Here we report the case of a 71-years-old female diagnosed with a PT/ILC collision tumor. The patient presented with a tumor in the right breast. A core needle biopsy showed mesenchymal spindle cell proliferates suspicious for a PT. The resection specimen confirmed a malignant PT with stromal overgrowth. Unexpectedly, the resection specimen also revealed sparse infiltrates of ILC admixed with the PT. Immunohistochemistry of mesenchymal PT cells and ILC cells was consistent with the histomorphological diagnosis. Molecular analyses demonstrated a IDH1 variant of unknown significance and GNAS gene mutation in microdissected PT tissue. ILC tissue showed wild-type IDH1 and GNAS, but harbored CDH1/E-cadherin and TP53 gene mutations, arguing against clonal relatedness of the two lesions. Review of the literature identified six reported PT/ILC collision tumors, involving three benign, two borderline and one malignant PT. In summary, this is the second report on a malignant PT/ILC collision tumor. Correct histologic diagnosis of PT/ILC collision tumors is clinically relevant, because adjuvant endocrine therapy is mandatory for ILC.

    Abstract Ki67 represents an immunohistochemical nuclear localized marker that is widely used in surgical pathology. Nuclear immunoreactivity for Ki67 indicates that cells are cycling and are in G1- to S-phase. The percentage of Ki67-positive tumor cells (Ki67 index) therefore provides an estimate of the growth fraction in tumor specimens. In breast cancer (BC), tumor cell proliferation rate is one of the most relevant prognostic markers and Ki67 is consequently helpful in prognostication similar to histological grading and mRNA profiling-based BC risk stratification. In BCs treated with short-term preoperative endocrine therapy, Ki67 dynamics enable distinguishing between endocrine sensitive and resistant tumors. Despite its nearly universal use in pathology laboratories worldwide, no internationally accepted consensus has yet been achieved for some methodological details related to Ki67 immunohistochemistry (IHC). Controversial issues refer to choice of IHC antibody clones, scoring methods, inter-laboratory reproducibility, and the potential value of computer-assisted imaging analysis and/or artificial intelligence for Ki67 assessment. Prospective clinical trials focusing on BC treatment have proven that Ki67, as determined by standardized central pathology assessment, is of clinical validity. Clinical utility has been demonstrated in huge observational studies.

    Abstract Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is a common breast cancer subtype that is often diagnosed at advanced stages and causes significant morbidity. Late-onset secondary tumor recurrence affects up to 30% of ILC patients, posing a therapeutic challenge if resistance to systemic therapy develops. Nonetheless, there is a lack of preclinical models for ILC, and the current models do not accurately reproduce the complete range of the disease. We created clinically relevant metastatic xenografts to address this gap by grafting the triple-negative IPH-926 cell line into mouse milk ducts. The resulting intraductal xenografts accurately recapitulate lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), invasive lobular carcinoma, and metastatic ILC in relevant organs. Using a panel of 15 clinical markers, we characterized the intratumoral heterogeneity of primary and metastatic lesions. Interestingly, intraductal IPH-926 xenografts express low but actionable HER2 and are not dependent on supplementation with the ovarian hormone estradiol for their growth. This model provides a valuable tool to test the efficiency of potential new ILC therapeutics, and it may help detect vulnerabilities within ILC that can be exploited for therapeutic targeting.

    Abstract Collagenous spherulosis (CS) is a rare breast lesion of unknown histogenesis. Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare basal-like breast carcinoma with low histological grade. CS is a benign lesion but resembles ACC. Both lesions show a similar histomorphology and feature bilineage differentiation. This study compared immunohistochemical markers in CS and ACC. We compiled n=13 CS cases and n=18 mammary ACCs. Fourteen marker proteins (ER, PR, HER2, GATA3, CK7, E-cadherin, CD117, CK5/14, p40, p63, SMA, CD10, calponin, P-cadherin) were evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC). MYB rearrangement, a common alteration in ACC, was assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Patient age ranged between 40-60 years for CS lesions and 30-90 years for ACCs. 7/13 (54%) CS cases harbored a lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) in the luminal component. One CS/LCIS lesion occurred in a carrier of a pathogenic germline variant in CDH1/E-cadherin. MYB rearrangement was detected in 0/11 (0%) CS and 6/16 (37%) ACC cases (P=0.054). CS was associated with expression of ER in the luminal component (P<0.001), E-cadherin loss in the luminal component (P=0.045), and expression of CD10 and calponin in the basal component (P<0.001). Furthermore, CS was associated with GATA3 expression in the luminal component (12/13 [92%] versus 5/18 [27%], P<0.001). In summary, IHC for GATA3 and E-cadherin may contribute to the differential diagnosis between CS and ACC, although these markers are not exclusively expressed in either lesion. Histologic evaluation has to take into account that CS is frequently colonized by LCIS, requiring thorough correlation of histomorphology and immunohistochemical features.

    Abstract Continuous cell lines are important and commonly used in vitro models in breast cancer (BC) research. Selection of the appropriate model cell line is crucial and requires consideration of their molecular characteristics. To characterize BC cell line models in depth, we profiled a panel of 29 authenticated and publicly available BC cell lines by mRNA-sequencing, mutation analysis, and immunoblotting. Gene expression profiles separated BC cell lines in two major clusters that represent basal-like (mainly triple-negative BC) and luminal BC subtypes, respectively. HER2-positive cell lines were located within the luminal cluster. Mutation calling highlighted the frequent aberration of

    Abstract About 20%-30% of breast cancer (BC) patients will develop distant metastases, preferentially in bones, liver, lung, and brain. BCs with different intrinsic subtypes prefer different sites for metastasis. These subtypes vary in the abundance of genetic alterations which may influence the localization of metastases. Currently, information about the relation between metastatic site and mutational profile of BC is limited. In this study, n = 521 BC metastases of the most frequently affected sites (bone, brain, liver, and lung) were investigated for the frequency of AKT1, ERBB2, ESR1, PIK3CA, and TP53 mutations via NGS and pyrosequencing. Somatic mutations were present in 64% cases. PIK3CA and TP53 were the most frequently mutated genes under study. We provide an analysis of the mutational profile of BCs and the affected metastatic site. Genetic alterations differed significantly depending on the organ site affected by metastases. TP53 mutations were mostly observed in brain metastases (51.0%), metastases outside of the brain revealed a much lower proportion of TP53 mutated samples. PIK3CA mutations are frequent in liver (40.6%), lung (36.8%), and bone metastases (35.7%), whereas less common in brain metastases (18.4%). The highest percentage of ESR1 mutations was observed in liver and lung metastases (about 30% each), whereas metastatic lesions in the brain showed significantly less ESR1 mutations, only in 2.0% of the cases. In summary, we found significant differences of mutational status in mBC depending on the affected organ and intrinsic subtype. Organotropism of metastatic cancer spread may be influenced by the mutational profile of individual BCs.
