Ectopic Breast Cancer in A Very Young Patient: A Rare Tumor In An Uncommon Age
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 10
Abstract
Primary carcinoma of ectopic breast tissue has been rarely reported and accounts for 0.3% of all breast cancers. We report a case of an ectopic ductal carcinoma occurring in a 17-year-old woman with no family cancer history. Because of the rarity of this entity, diagnosis may be delayed. We recommend preventive excision of ectopic breast tissue. Otherwise, regular examination of the ectopic breast tissue is mandatory to detect eventual malignancy transformation.
