GATA ‐3 staining in primary cutaneous apocrine cribriform carcinoma: usefulness To differentiate it from breast cancer metastasis

CONCLUSIONEven when GATA3 expression has been reported in many benign and malignant adnexal tumors, mostly the sebaceous, follicular and apocrine ones, as well as in many other neoplasms, GATA3 staining to differentiate PCACC from skin breast cancer metastasis has a high negative predictive value. A positive GATA3 staining in this context should led to rule out PCACC with a high level of confidence.
