We report a patient with a massive mucinous carcinoma of the breast that had been untreated for 6 years. A 47-year-old premenopausal woman presented with a large right-breast mass. Although she had noticed a lump in the right breast 6 years previously, she had not sought treatment. The tumor had enlarged gradually and become ulcerated. With a diagnosis of advanced breast cancer with skin invasion, she underwent right mastectomy with a free skin graft. No lymph node metastases or distant metastases were detected. The histologic diagnosis of the tumor was pure mucinous carcinoma of the breast with no component of ordinary invasive ductal cancer. She has been well without evidence of tumor recurrence for 7 years after the surgery. The prognosis for mucinous carcinoma of the breast has been recognized as relatively good. The results in our patient are consistent with the biological behavior of this carcinoma.
我们报告一例乳腺黏液腺癌患者,该患者未经治疗长达6年。一名47岁的绝经前女性因右侧乳房巨大肿块就诊。尽管她6年前就已发现右侧乳房有一个肿块,但一直未寻求治疗。肿瘤逐渐增大并发生溃疡。诊断为晚期乳腺癌伴皮肤侵犯,她接受了右乳乳房切除术及游离皮瓣移植术。未检测到淋巴结转移或远处转移。肿瘤的组织学诊断为纯乳腺黏液腺癌,无普通浸润性导管癌成分。术后7年她情况良好,无肿瘤复发迹象。乳腺黏液腺癌的预后被认为相对较好。我们患者的结果与该癌的生物学行为相符。
