Tall Cell Carcinoma With Reversed Polarity of the Breast

Tall cell carcinoma with reversed polarity (TCCRP) of the breast is a rare entity with low potential for malignancy that exhibits some morphological similarities to the tall cell variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Immunohistochemical and molecular studies help establish the mammary origin of this neoplasm. Here, we describe the case of a 63-year-old woman with a finding of a nodular lesion during a screening mammogram, whose morphological findings and immunohistochemical studies confirmed the diagnosis of papillary high cell carcinoma with the reverse polarity of the mammary gland.
