This is a case report of a 7 years old female patient diagnosed to have secretory carcinoma of the breast and secondary axillary lymph nodes metastasis after she presented with compliant of left breast swelling that lasted for about 6 months. It is a rare (< 1%) type of breast carcinoma with distinct histologic features. Diagnosis of this carcinoma at fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is quite difficult and it is not a particularly aggressive tumor with excellent prognosis even in the presence of metastasis. Axillary locoregional lymph node metastases are uncommon. Several authors, therefore, recommend a conservative and non-aggressive treatment as much as possible. In her case, modified radical mastectomy with level II axillary dissection was done without hormonal or chemotherapy. So far, the therapeutic approach tends to be fairly flexible.
这是一例7岁女性患者的病例报告。该患者因左乳肿胀约6个月就诊,被诊断为乳腺分泌性癌并伴有腋窝淋巴结转移。这是一种罕见(<1%)的乳腺癌类型,具有独特的组织学特征。在细针穿刺细胞学检查(FNAC)中诊断这种癌相当困难,并且它不是一种特别侵袭性的肿瘤,即使存在转移,预后也很好。腋窝局部区域淋巴结转移并不常见。因此,几位作者建议尽可能采取保守和非激进的治疗方法。在她的病例中,进行了改良根治性乳房切除术及II级腋窝淋巴结清扫,未进行激素治疗或化疗。到目前为止,治疗方法往往相当灵活。
