Cribriform Carcinoma
📋Overview
Cribriform carcinoma is a histological pattern seen in certain types of adenocarcinomas characterized by tumor cells forming sieve-like (cribriform) glandular structures. It is most commonly described in breast cancer (invasive cribriform carcinoma) and prostate cancer. The term 'cribriform carcinoma' refers to the microscopic architecture rather than a distinct clinical entity. Modern classification focuses on the primary cancer type with cribriform pattern as a subtype or variant influencing prognosis and treatment.
