Primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast (NECB) is one of the rarest subtypes of breast tumor, and for this reason, there are no data from prospective clinical trials on its optimal management. Its incidence is <0.1% of all breast cancers and <1% of all neuroendocrine tumors. The diagnosis of NECB requires the expression of neuroendocrine markers (chromogranin, synaptophysin, NSE) and the lack of simultaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma in extramammary sites. We present a case of a poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma (PD‐NEC) metastasized in liver and lymph node after eight years. Mammography, ultrasound imaging, CT, and pathology findings are described.
Mastitis is a common disease in women with both infectious and noninfectious causes. Most cases occur during lactation and are caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus species; parasites and Mycobacteria have rarely been reported
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
