Neuroendocrine breast cancer (NEBC) is a rare and heterogeneous entity. It most commonly presents a luminal phenotype and a worse prognosis. When diagnosed in an advanced stage, metastasis from another neuroendocrine tumor should be excluded. This case features a premenopausal woman with an oligometastatic breast large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, estrogen receptor (ER) positive, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative. Since the patient was very symptomatic at the presentation of the disease, chemotherapy was started. Complete radiological response of the metastatic disease was achieved, and the patient was then submitted to radical breast surgery and bilateral oophorectomy. She subsequently underwent radiation therapy. Since then and to date, she has been under endocrine therapy (ET) and a CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i), with no evidence of malignant disease. Evidence to guide the choice of treatment for these tumors is currently scarce. In cases with oligometastatic disease, radical treatment should be considered. Given that this entity is rare, its reporting should be encouraged.
神经内分泌乳腺癌(NEBC)是一种罕见且异质性的疾病。它最常表现为管腔型表型,预后较差。在晚期诊断时,应排除来自其他神经内分泌肿瘤的转移。本病例为一名绝经前女性,患有寡转移乳腺大细胞神经内分泌癌,雌激素受体(ER)阳性,人表皮生长因子受体2(HER2)阴性。由于患者在疾病初发时症状非常明显,因此开始化疗。转移性疾病实现了完全的影像学缓解,随后患者接受了根治性乳房手术和双侧卵巢切除术。她随后接受了放射治疗。从那时起至今,她一直在接受内分泌治疗(ET)和一种细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶4/6抑制剂(CDK4/6i)治疗,没有恶性疾病的证据。目前指导这些肿瘤治疗选择的证据很少。在寡转移疾病的病例中,应考虑根治性治疗。鉴于这种疾病罕见,应鼓励对其进行报道。
