Breast Apocrine Carcinoma Detected Incidentally as Axillary Lymphadenopathy in a CT Scan

Breast apocrine cell pathology varieties include benign papilloma, non-high-grade apocrine ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and breast invasive apocrine carcinoma (BAC). BAC is a rare type of invasive breast cancer and is histologically distinguished by large-sized cells with copious eosinophilic gr...

description Breast apocrine cell pathology varieties include benign papilloma, non-high-grade apocrine ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and breast invasive apocrine carcinoma (BAC). BAC is a rare type of invasive breast cancer and is histologically distinguished by large-sized cells with copious eosinophilic granular cytoplasm, round nuclei, and prominent nucleoli. Its prognosis is similar to breast invasive ductal carcinoma, of no special type (IDC-NST), when matched for tumour stage and histological grade. In this paper, we report the case of a 75-year-old lady presenting with apocrine carcinoma of the left breast diagnosed at the stage of mediastinal lymph node metastasis.
