Metastatic Potential of Encapsulated (Intracystic) Papillary Carcinoma of the Breast: A Report of 2 Cases With Axillary Lymph Node Micrometastases
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Intracystic papillary carcinoma of the breast has rarely been reported to be associated with metastases. Presented are 2 cases, both of which showed micrometastatic carcinoma in axillary lymph nodes; neither demonstrated stromal invasion. Nearly complete absence of a myoepithelial cell layer around the periphery of the lesions was noted. One case showed 3 separate foci of micrometastatic carcinoma in 1 of 3 sentinel lymph nodes; the second showed micrometastases in 2 of 11 axillary lymph nodes. The clinical significance of micrometastases in lymph nodes associated with intracystic papillary carcinoma is unknown. The term encapsulated papillary carcinoma has been proposed to name papillary carcinomas that are surrounded by a fibrous rim, but which show a scant or absent myoepithelial cell component. The current 2 cases offer evidence to support the use of this term for particularly large encysted lesions. Sentinel lymph node biopsy may be prudent in such cases.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
