There are no established guidelines for the management of apocrine carcinomas of the breast; they are treated as a non-specific type of breast cancer.
We report on the case of a 40-year-old man who developed primary mediastinal apocrine carcinoma overexpressing human epidermal growth factor-2 (HER2). The patient initially underwent complete resection of a mediastinal mature teratoma with a focal apocrine carcinoma component. Two years after surgery, relapse was detected in multiple mediastinal lymph nodes. He received induction chemotherapy including docetaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab; consolidative concurrent chemoradiation was added after six cycles. A complete response was confirmed using computed tomography following this multimodal therapy. After chemoradiation, adjuvant trastuzumab and pertuzumab were administered for 1 year and the patient has since had no evidence of progressive disease.
A multi-modal regimen that includes an anti-HER2 agent appears to be a promising treatment for patients with HER2-positive extramammary apocrine carcinoma.
目前尚无关于乳腺大汗腺癌管理的既定指南;它们被当作一种非特异性乳腺癌类型进行治疗。
我们报告了一例40岁男性原发性纵隔大汗腺癌患者,该肿瘤过度表达人表皮生长因子-2(HER2)。患者最初接受了纵隔成熟畸胎瘤伴局灶性大汗腺癌成分的完整切除。术后两年,在多个纵隔淋巴结检测到复发。他接受了包括多西他赛、曲妥珠单抗和帕妥珠单抗在内的诱导化疗;六个周期后增加了巩固性同步放化疗。采用多模态治疗后通过计算机断层扫描确认了完全缓解。放化疗后,给予曲妥珠单抗和帕妥珠单抗辅助治疗1年,此后患者无疾病进展迹象。
包括抗HER2药物的多模态治疗方案似乎是HER2阳性乳腺外大汗腺癌患者的一种有前景的治疗方法。
