Small-cell breast cancer is a very rare and aggressive type of neuroendocrine carcinoma. Histologically, it is indistinguishable from small-cell neuroendocrine lung cancer. Due to that, patients with small-cell neuroendocrine breast cancer should undergo examination of other areas of the body. Small-cell breast cancer may be treated with a combination of surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. However, no standard treatment exists due to the small number of cases. We present a case of a 49-year-old woman with right breast primary small-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma.
小细胞乳腺癌是一种非常罕见且侵袭性很强的神经内分泌癌。从组织学上看，它与小细胞神经内分泌肺癌无法区分。因此，患有小细胞神经内分泌乳腺癌的患者应该接受身体其他部位的检查。小细胞乳腺癌可能需要手术、放疗和化疗的联合治疗。然而，由于病例数量较少，目前还没有标准的治疗方法。我们报告了一例 49 岁女性右侧乳腺原发性小细胞神经内分泌癌。
