Zhang, MDy (Am J Surg Pathol 2009;33:202–210) Abstract: Retraction artifact around tumor cell nests is a characteristic feature of invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC), a special type of breast cancer commonly associated with nodal metastasis. We have recently reported that the extent n most solid tumors, including breast cancer, the spread of retraction artifact in usual invasive ductal carcinomas (IDC) Iof cancer cells via the lymphatics to regional lymph is also a strong predictor of nodal metastasis. We examined nodes (LNs) is an important early event during tumor 32,34 whether the presence and extent of micropapillary features and progression, and nodal metastasis is a key factor in retraction artifact in core needle biopsy of breast cancers can the staging of breast cancers. Despite the major role predict nodal metastasis in a prospective series of 47 IMPC and for the lymphatics in the initial spread of cancers, little 424 IDC. Micropapillary features were present on core needle is known about the mechanisms
