Long-term recurrence of secretory breast carcinoma with metastatic sentinel lymph nodes.

PURPOSE

Secretory carcinoma is a rare form of breast cancer most frequently encountered in children or young adults. Several cases have been described in adults with increased aggressiveness and a risk of metastases.

CASE REPORT

We report here, in a 30-year-old woman, a case of local relapse and lymph node metastases occurring 16 years after the initial diagnosis of secretory carcinoma.

CONCLUSION

We present the clinical, radiological and pathological findings that led to the diagnosis.
