Pathology results
Hey everyone,
I’m trying to understand my histopathology report from my biopsy and I’m hoping someone here has answers, as I won’t get to see a doctor till the 19th November.
I’m trying to understand my histopathology report from my biopsy and I’m hoping someone here has answers, as I won’t get to see a doctor till the 19th November.
This is what the report says:
”The cores of breast tissue are infiltrated by an invasive ductal carcinoma. The tumour forms solid nests and cords of atypical ductal epithelial cells displaying a moderate degree of nuclear pleomorphism. In addition, several multinucleated giant cells are noted indicating invasive ductal carcinoma with osteoclastic giant cells.”
I also have a Ki-67 of 30-40%. My report also states the cancer is oestrogen and progesterone receptor positive and HER-2 low.

I do have a good understanding of anatomy and anatomical terms as I’m a science teacher- and epithelial means skin cells and osteoclastic should have something to do with bones.
So does this mean I likely have metastatic disease with Mets in skin and bone?
I’m likely just having anxiety but because I have so long to wait for the appointment and I can’t call the line until Monday I’m hoping someone else has had similar results.
