CONTEXT: Vascular tumors comprise a minor subgroup of tumors arising in the breast and represent variants of hemangiomas and angiosarcomas. Diagnostic challenges may arise when differentiating hemangiomas from types I and II angiosarcomas. Ki-67 expression has been used as an adjunct to distinguish between benign and malignant lesions exhibiting histologic overlap at various anatomic sites.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the utility of Ki-67 and other cell cycle regulatory proteins (S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 [Skp2], p27, and cyclin D1) in the differential diagnosis of mammary vascular lesions.
DESIGN: Thirty-four vascular tumors (21 hemangiomas and 13 angiosarcomas) of the breast were studied. The Ki-67 index and immunoreactivity for Skp2, p27, and cyclin D1 were determined in each case. Appropriate statistical methods were used.
RESULTS: The mean value of Ki-67 index was statistically different when comparing hemangiomas and angiosarcomas (P < .001). Angiosarcomas were typically positive for Skp2, whereas hemangiomas were negative (P < .001). Sensitivity and specificity cutoffs for Ki-67 index to distinguish hemangiomas from angiosarcomas showed a candidate cutoff point of 175. The mean values of Ki-67 of low-grade angiosarcomas were significantly different from all hemangiomas (P < .001) and also different from the subset of atypical hemangiomas (P = .02). Sensitivity and specificity cutoffs for Ki-67 index to distinguish all hemangiomas from low-grade angiosarcomas showed a candidate cutoff point between 150 and 175. Among angiosarcomas, positivity for Ki-67 was inversely related to that of p27 but not to Skp2 or cyclin D1. This was also true among hemangiomas.
CONCLUSIONS: Ki-67 index can be used as a diagnostic tool to distinguish between benign and malignant vascular lesions of the breast. This can be particularly helpful in cases of histologic overlap such as low-grade angiosarcoma and hemangioma.
