Keywords: Axillary sentinel nodes; False-positive; Benign glandular inclusions; Breast carcinoma; Immunostains for myoepithelial markers

Upon completion of this activity, you will be able to:

  • provide a differential diagnosis for glandular groups of epithelial cells in axillary lymph nodes.
  • define histologic and immunohistochemical features of benign glandular inclusions in axillary lymph nodes.
  • list the immunohistochemical stains that can be applied to lymph nodes to differentiate benign glandular inclusions from metastatic carcinoma of breast.

The ASCP designates this educational activity for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation n the activities.
