PURPOSE: to perform a critical evaluation of the histopathological diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast, through the analysis of interobserver variation related to diagnosis, architectural pattern, nuclear grade, and histological grade. METHODS: eighty-five cases with an initial diagnosis of DCIS were reviewed by the same pathologist, specialist in breast pathology, who selected 15 cases for interobserver analysis. The analysis was carried out by five pathologists and an international expert in breast pathology, who received the same slides and a protocol for classifying the lesions as atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH), DCIS, or ductal carcinoma in situ with microinvasion (DCIS-MIC). If the diagnosis was DCIS, the pathologists should classify it according to the dominant architectural pattern, nuclear grade, and histological grade. The results were analyzed using percent concordance and the kappa test. RESULTS: there was a great interobserver diagnostic variation. In one case we had all diagnoses, from ADH, DCIS to DCIS-MIC. The kappa test for the comparison among the five observers' and the expert's diagnoses showed minimum interobservers' concordance (<0.40). Regarding DCIS classification related to the dominant architectural pattern and the histological grade, the kappa test values were considered poor among the pathologists. The best results were obtained for the nuclear grading, with a kappa index up to 0.80, considered as good concordance. CONCLUSION: the low index of interobserver concordance in diagnosis and classification of DCIS of the breast indicates the difficulty in using the most common diagnostic criteria of the literature and the need for specific training of non-specialist pathologists in breast pathology for the diagnosis of these lesions.

PURPOSE: the aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of mammography in the diagnosis of suspicious breast microcalcifications, using BI-RADS TM and Le Gal's classifications. METHODS: one hundred and thirty cases were selected with mammograms contain only microcalcifications of file and initially classified as suspicious (categories 4 and 5) without lesions clinical detectable and reclassified by two examiners, getting a consensus diagnosis. The biopsies were reviewed by two pathologists getting also a consensus diagnosis. Both, mammogram and histopathologic analysis were double blinded reviewed. Qui-square test, Fleiss-square statistic and EPI-INFO 6.0 were used in this study. RESULTS: the correlation between histopathological and mammographic analysis using BI-RADS TM and Le Gal classification showed the same sensitivity of 96.4%, specificity of 55.9 and 30.3%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 37.5 and 27.5%, and accuracy of 64.6 and 44.6% respectively. The PPV by BI-RADS TM categories was: category 2, 0%; category 3, 1.8%; category 4, 30.8%; and category 5, 60%. The PPV by Le Gal classification was: category 2, 3.1%; category 3, 18.1%; category 4, 26.4%;category 5, 66.7%, and non classified 5.2%. CONCLUSIONS: the results were better for the classification of BI-RADS™, but it did not get to reduce the ambiguity in assessment of breast microcalcifications.
