| Popis: | Carcinoma of the breast is a diverse disease encompassing an amalgam of different variants. It is characterized by distinguished histomorphological features, clinical manifestation and behavior, treatment response, outcome, and prognostic value. Invasive cribriform carcinoma is a special type of breast carcinoma. This rare entity with excellent prognosis has a unique histological pattern characterized by the disposition of neoplastic components in a cribriform pattern. Here, we present a case of an elderly female presenting with chief complaints of painless progressive lump in her left breast. Total mastectomy was performed and histopathological examination led to a diagnosis of cribriform carcinoma of the breast. Our patient is receiving tablet anastrozole 1 mg once daily for the past 6 months. |
