Lung metastasis in secretory carcinoma breast –Rare presention

Abstract

Secretory carcinoma is a rare breast cancer with mean age of 25 years. It was initially thought to be a tumour of children but can also occur in adults and old age. Tumour cells are cytologically bland and form glands and microcystic spaces containing abundant secretion. They are triple negative tumours but with good prognosis and excellent response to surgery. However, the patients should be kept on long term follow up as late occurrence of metastasis isknown. Here we report a patient with diagnosis of Secretory carcinoma breast who developed lung metastasis four years later.
