Primary neuroendocrine carcinomas of the breast are a rare, distinct category of breast carcinomas that require immunohistochemical staining for diagnosis. Currently, there is not enough evidence on the clinical pattern, prognosis, and proper management of the disease. Only few case series have described the imaging findings of neuroendocrine carcinomas of the breast. We herein present a case of a primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast (small cell) presenting as a locally aggressive tumor with metastatic disease, and describe the radiologic findings.
原发性乳腺神经内分泌癌是一类罕见的、独特的乳腺癌,需要通过免疫组化染色进行诊断。目前,关于该疾病的临床模式、预后及恰当治疗,尚无足够证据。仅有少数病例系列报道过乳腺神经内分泌癌的影像学表现。我们在此报告一例原发性乳腺神经内分泌癌(小细胞型),表现为具有转移病灶的局部侵袭性肿瘤,并描述其影像学表现。
