Primary atypical carcinoid of the breast is rare. Herein we present a case of atypical carcinoid of the breast treated with surgery. The management plan is commented. Moreover an overview of the current evidence is presented. All the evidence is classified as level IV (opinion-based evidence) since there is no satisfactory case series to support a certain therapeutic decision. The treatment for an atypical carcinoid of the breast is the same one offered in patients diagnosed with primary infiltrating breast cancer. A multi-centric approach is needed in order to gather enough data to confidently support a certain management plan for these patients.
乳腺原发性非典型类癌罕见。本文报道了 1 例乳腺非典型类癌，患者接受了手术治疗。本文对其治疗方案进行了讨论，并对当前的证据进行了综述。由于没有令人满意的病例系列可以支持某种治疗决策，所有证据均归类为 IV 级（基于意见的证据）。乳腺非典型类癌的治疗与原发性浸润性乳腺癌患者相同。需要采用多中心方法来收集足够的数据，从而有信心为这些患者提供某种治疗方案。
