Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and life sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Papillary breast cancer is an extremely rare ductal malignancy, accounting for <1% of all breast cancers. Post-menopausal women are most commonly affected, while being almost non-existent in young women. It is usually an outcome of untreated in-situ ductal carcinoma. Papillary CA can be intraductal, infiltrating, or invasive. Prognosis is excellent with a 10-year survival rate in 80-90% of patients. With respect to the diagnosis, ultrasound is the most extensively used imaging modality, although an MR Mammogram has its own utility in the diagnosis. An FNA biopsy helps differentiate it from a benign isolated papilloma, which elicits similar symptoms. Various treatment modalities are being used although a segmental mastectomy is most common, followed by hormonal or radiation therapies. In the following paper, a case of a pre-menopausal lactating woman, who complained of a swelling in the left breast since 2 years, and diagnosed with papillary carcinoma.(mimicking a galactocele). A review of literature on Papillary breast carcinoma follows.
