Objective To compare the clinicopathological characteristics of breast invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) with different composition ratios, and analyze the relationship between proportion of micropapillary carcinoma components and the prognosis of IMPC. Methods  The related data of 121 patients with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) complicated with IMPC who were treated in the Department of Breast Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from August 2016 to August 2020 were collected. With micropapillary carcinoma accounting for 50%, the patients were divided into IMPC <50% group and IMPC ≥50% group. The correlation between related clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients was analyzed. Results  There were 85 patients in the IMPC <50% group and 36 patients in the IMPC ≥50% group. The analysis results showed that there was no significant differences between the two groups in menstrual status, histological grade, molecular typing, TNM stage, age, immunohistochemical expression, neoadjuvant therapy, nerve invasion, nipple invasion, and skin invasion (P>0.05). The rate of lymphatic vessel invasion (LVI) in the IMPC ≥50% group was 83.33% (30/36), which was significantly higher than 61.18% (52/85) in the IMPC <50% group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=5.684, P=0.017). Kaplan-Meier survival curve was drawn, and the analysis results showed that the 3-year cumulative disease-free survival (DFS) of IMPC patients was correlated with the number of lymph node metastasis and LVI (P<0.05). And with the estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, Ki-67, molecular typing, proportion of micropapillary carcinoma components and histological grade were unrelated (P>0.05). The results of multivariate Cox risk regression analysis showed that the number of lymph node metastases and LVI were independent prognostic factors affecting DFS in patients. Conclusions  When the proportion of IMPC component is ≥50%, the LVI rate of tumor is higher than that of IMPC component <50%. The number of lymph node metastasis and LVI are independent prognostic factors affecting DFS in IMPC patients.
