A Case of Histiocytoid Breast Carcinoma Accompanied by Multiple Axillary Lymph Node Metastases
2019
: According to previous reports in our country, histiocytoid breast carcinoma is a very rare case of its tissue type, accounting for only 0.3% of all breast cancer cases. We have neither established a diagnostic standard nor a general idea for these tumors. Previously, its inherited pathology was assumed to be a sub-form of invasive lobular carcinoma. However, some researchers indicate the presence of components that are assumed to originate from milk ducts or differentiation in the apocrine gland. In this way, origins of pathologies for these tumors seem to be complex. Previous reports suggest cases of relatively long survival times without spreading to distant sites. Recently, we encountered one case of histiocytoid breast carcinoma accompanied by multiple axillary lymph node metastases.
