Abstrakt: | We report a case of 31-year-old female with no past medical history who presented with sudden onset discharging skin ulcer in left inframammary fold with erythema and swelling immediately after she came back from holiday for which she presented to the breast one stop clinic and underwent ultrasound-guided aspiration of the detected cystic lesion in the left breast with impression of breast abscess. Afterwards, as the result of cytology reporting as C5, ultrasound-guided Core-Needle Biopsy was performed, which confirmed poorly differentiated carcinoma of breast. Furthermore, similar necrotizing masses were found in axillary lymph nodes and Liver. The final diagnosis was concluded as poorly differentiated breast carcinoma with metastasis to axillary lymph nodes and the liver. This case reports a very uncommon presentation of breast carcinoma in a young patient with no past medical history, presenting with cystic necrotizing mass which is extremely rare in breast cancer. At the time of presentation, carcinoma had spread to the liver and axillary nodes. (© 2024 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of University of Washington.) |
