Occult breast cancer is a rare presentation of breast cancer (<1%), as an isolated axillary lymphadenopathy. It represents a diagnostic challenge, gradually improved by technological innovations. The difficulty in deciding therapeutic conduct lays in the paucity of prospective studies and thereby of consensus. We present a brief review of the literature, concerning the case report of a 56-year-old woman diagnosed with this type of cancer at our center, after presenting with an axillary nodule. No relevant abnormality in the breast or other organs was found. Immunohistochemical and imaging diagnosis are assessed as well as treatment, which consisted of homolateral axillary lymph node ressection, followed by chemotherapy, radiation therapy and hormone therapy. |
