Thank you all for the replies. This is indeed a neurofibroma of the breast, the first one I have ever seen. No history of neurofibromatosis.

Benign spindle cell lesions of the breast can be quite challenging to diagnose because of significant morphologic overlap. However, the

Nothing much educational today 🙁

But I cut an avocado 🥑 and, as a pathologist, I said, wow that looks like a mast cell😅

Mast cells can be background cells in certain pathologies including

1) Neurofibroma
2) SDH deficient RCC
3) Secretory Meningioma(seen👇)
4) +many more!

Neurofibromatosis type 1 - NF1 (neurofibromin, tumor suppressor) gene mutation affecting nerve cells & cells surrounding nerves (oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells) leading to production of neurofibroma tumors, Lisch nodules, café-au-lait spots, learning disabilities, etc.

Hybrid schwannoma/neurofibroma with plexiform growth pattern.
schwannoma ▶️CD34 negative (only subcapsular staining)
neurofibroma ▶️Cd34 positive (lattice pattern)

Tip of the day 💡: Look out for short segment early optic pathway gliomas (red arrow) in the context of a patient with cafe au lait spots. Note also the sphenoid wing dysplasia (yellow arrow) and the faint plexiform peri-orbital neurofibroma. All defining features of NF1.

On his way to Jalukbari, HCM Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma (Modi Ka Parivar) spotted a youth - Jeet Das in Bhangagarh, with an eye complication. He stopped by to enquire & noted that he has been operated at GMCH for debulking of neurofibroma.

HCM assured him of advanced medical assistance in the future.
