Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: Mucinous carcinoma of breast is one of the rarer forms of breast neoplasms which usually presents as a lobulated, well circumscribed mass with very low incidence of lymph node metastasis. It accounts for 1 -7% for all breast carcinomas. It is more common in elderly females with prevalence of 7% and in younger females the prevalence is as low as 1%.The mucinous neoplasms are characterized by the production of abundant extracellular and/or intracellular mucin. The definition requires a mucinous component >50% of the lesion. Mucinous carcinoma may be divided into pure mucinous and mixed mucinous entities. Herewith we present a case of breast carcinoma in a 65 year old female with mucinous carcinoma with neuroendocrine features. Keywords: Mucinous carcinoma, neuroendocrine differentiation, chromogranin
