Abstract

Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMC) is a variant of infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast associated with poor outcome. In this study, we report 16 carcinomas of the feline mammary gland displaying histologic features that correspond to IMC of the breast in women. The clinicopathologic findings, overall survival time, disease-free survival time, and nuclear DNA content of these cats were compared with 65 more common invasive mammary carcinomas (other feline mammary carcinoma [FMC]) of nonspecified type. IMC was associated with larger tumor size, higher histologic grade ( P < .0001), deeper muscle invasion ( P = .004), and more frequent lymphovascular invasion and nodal metastases ( P = .009 and P = .001, respectively) than other FMCs. The aneuploid pattern was more frequent in IMC lesions. IMCs were also associated with lower survival rates. In summary, all cases of feline IMC were associated with clinicopathologic features of high biologic aggressiveness and should be classified as independent histologic types of FMC.
