| Popis: | A surgically resected case of giant mucinous carcinoma of the breast that had remained untreated for 2 years is reported. A 64-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with a large right breast mass (17.4 x 16.5 x 14.5 cm). Although she had noticed a mass in the right breast 2 years previously, she had not sought treatment. Mucinous carcinoma was diagnosed by core needle biopsy and she underwent right modified radical mastectomy with a free skin graft. There were no lymph node metastases or distant metastases. Fourteen months postoperatively, she remains well without evidence of tumor recurrence. Although several reports have suggested that pure mucinous carcinoma of the breast has a favorable prognosis, we need to follow this case until the clinical behavior and the outcome become clear. |
