Invasive Papillary Breast Carcinoma : A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Papillary carcinoma of the breast is a rare, distinct variant comprising less than 2% of all the breast cancers & is usually found in postmenopausal women with a more favorable prognosis. Invasive papillary carcinoma is one of the distinct & established subtypes of papillary carcinoma breast. We report the case of a 63 year old postmenopausal woman who presented with a left breast lump for 2 months associated with pain. Ultrasound & Mammogram screening suggested malignancy with a similar finding on Fine needle aspiration cytology. A modified radical mastectomy was undertaken with lymph node dissection for histopathological study & Immunohistochemistry which showed characteristic features of an Invasive papillary breast carcinoma with all the nodes being negative for malignant cells. We report this case in view of its rarity & to highlight this entity for its usually good prognosis to avoid overtreatment.
