Micropapillomas/papillomas and complex sclerosing lesions of the breast have been associated with a slightly increased risk for subsequent carcinoma, although benign squamous metaplasia and reactive hypercellular stroma are seen within these lesions. There are few reports of these fibrosclerotic lesions associated with metaplastic tumors. Here we describe a series of metaplastic tumors arising within fibrosclerotic breast lesions. Thirty-three metaplastic tumors associated with fibrosclerotic lesions were selected from a breast pathology consultative practice. Relevant clinical and pathological features were reviewed. Representative sections were evaluated immunohistochemically for expression of cytokeratins, vimentin, and smooth muscle and muscle-specific actins. Both the metaplastic component (spindled and squamous cells) and the glandular elements were graded. The metaplastic tumors arose within papillomas (20 cases), complex sclerosing lesions (7 cases), both papilloma and complex sclerosing lesions (3 cases), and nipple adenoma (3 cases). A majority of the metaplastic tumors showed a dominant spindle cell component with various degrees of atypia, ranging from fibromatosis-like (16 cases) to low-grade (13 cases), intermediate-grade (2 cases), and high-grade (2 cases) fibrosarcoma phenotype. Squamous metaplasia was present in 25 cases, and low-grade glandular elements, in 21 cases. Eleven tumors had a low-grade adenosquamous growth pattern. Ductal carcinoma in situ was present in 7 cases, and invasive mammary carcinoma, in 5 cases. The very low-grade tumors were histologically similar to limited areas of stromal reaction and myofibroblastic proliferation, seen in partially sclerotic micropapillomas/papillomas and complex sclerosing lesions, but usually more cellular. Cytokeratin positivity (13+/13 tested) supports the metaplastic nature of the more plump spindled cells. The spindle cells were also positive for vimentin (8+/8 tested) and smooth muscle (2+/5 tested) and muscle-specific actins (6+/6 tested). Spindle cell metaplastic tumors, from fibromatosis-like to fibrosarcoma, may arise within a variety of fibrosclerotic breast lesions.
