Neuroendocrine carcinomas are one of the most rare malignancies of the breast. Theoretically they can arise from any organ of the body, but incidence in breast is very rare. Due to the ever-changing definition of the disease, no specific therapeutic guideline is available in current literature. Currently WHO defines neuroendocrine carcinoma of breast as malignant lesions that expresses > 90% of neuroendocrine markers like synaptophysin, chromogranin A with characteristic histopathology features with exclusion of solid papillary carcinoma, and hypercellular-type mucinous carcinoma.
神经内分泌癌是乳腺最罕见的恶性肿瘤之一。理论上,它们可起源于身体的任何器官,但在乳腺中的发病率非常低。由于该疾病的定义不断变化,目前的文献中没有具体的治疗指南。目前,世界卫生组织将乳腺神经内分泌癌定义为表达超过90%神经内分泌标志物(如突触素、嗜铬粒蛋白A)的恶性病变,具有特征性的组织病理学特征,不包括实性乳头状癌和高细胞型黏液癌。
