Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a rare histological type, which represents between 1 and 4% of breast cancers. Treatment does not differ from other histological types, and it occurs more frequently in older adult women. Prognosis is good. We report the case of a 72-year-old patient with a 1-year disease course characterized by the appearance of a slow-growing tumor in the left upper quadrant of the left breast, in which the core biopsy showed mucinous breast carcinoma of a low nuclear grade. The patient underwent quadrantectomy plus a sentinel node biopsy, which confirmed the initial diagnosis.
乳腺黏液癌是一种罕见的组织学类型,占乳腺癌的1%至4%。其治疗方法与其他组织学类型无异,且更常见于老年女性。预后良好。我们报告一例72岁患者,病程1年,特征为左乳上象限出现生长缓慢的肿瘤,粗针活检显示为低核级乳腺黏液癌。患者接受了象限切除术加前哨淋巴结活检,结果证实了最初的诊断。
