The cytologic features of fine-needle aspiration specimens from 16 breast carcinomas that closely simulated benign lesions were analyzed and compared to smears from fibroadenomas and fibrocystic change. No combination of features was found that accurately separated all benign and malignant cases. Many nuclei with discernible small nucleoli in smears with many single bipolar nuclei indicated a benign lesion, whereas nuclear hyperchromasia indicated a malignant one.
