In the last decades, surgical treatment of breast cancer has enormously changed. As a result, nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) has evolved as an oncologically safe and cosmetic approach. NSM includes a subareolar frozen section to evaluate malignancy. We determined the accuracy of subareolar frozen section diagnosis, analyzed the discrepancy factor, and estimated the interobserver agreement of frozen section in NSM. A retrospective review of all NSMs at our institution from 2009 to 2015 was performed. Frozen sections were compared to the final diagnoses to analyze the accuracy of subareolar frozen sections. Discordant results were rigorously evaluated to identify discrepancy factors. Some cases were randomly chosen to assess the interobserver agreement (kappa) among pathologists. The agreement results were evaluated with and without knowledge of the tumor morphology. Among 34 NSMs, the frozen section false-negative and false-positive rate was 5.9% and 8.8%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity was 77.8% and 88.0%, respectively. Sampling errors and diathermy artifacts explained our false-negative diagnoses. Freezing artifacts and an intraductal papilloma explained our false-positive diagnoses. The interobserver agreement between breast and general pathologists was 0.87 (p<0.0001) and 0.31 (p=0.0001), respectively. The interobserver agreement increased to 0.35 (p<0.0001) in general pathologists with knowledge of the tumor morphology. Subareolar frozen section showed to be a specific test with moderate sensitivity. Papillary lesions can mimic atypical cells and influence the frozen section interpretation. Frozen section in NSM had a better performance in breast pathologists (almost perfect) versus general pathologists (fair). Interobserver agreement may improve with knowledge of tumor morphology.
