Invasive micropapillary variant of mucinous carcinoma breast is an under-recognized category which shares features of both pure mucinous carcinoma and invasive micropapillary carcinoma. Due to its greater propensity for nodal metastasis and angioinvasion, the prognosis in this subtype is worser than pure mucinous carcinoma breast. Here we report a case of invasive micropapillary variant of mucinous carcinoma breast in a 43-year-old female.
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.
