[The difficulties of cytologic diagnostic of breast diseases based on trepanobiopsy samples.]

The article analyses, on the basis of scientific publications and original data, the causes of erroneous cytological conclusion concerning samples of trepanobiopsies of mammary gland. The most prevalent benign affections that are characterized by most frequent hyper diagnostic of cancer are fibro-adenoma with proliferation of epithelium and sclerosing adenosis. At the same time, certain modifications of lobular carcinoma of mammary gland, tubular, papillary cancer as well as highly differentiated invasive carcinoma of nonspecific type from cells with ulterior nuclear atypism sometimes it is difficult to diagnose at the cellular level. The sensitivity of cytological diagnostic of pathology of mammary gland using samples of trepanobiopsies makes up 97.5%, specificity - 98.5%. The number of false positive cytological conclusions about presence of malignant tumor makes up to 0.6%, false negative - 1.5%. The reliability of cytological analysis makes up to 97.4%, efficiency - 96.3%.
