Long-term recurrence of secretory breast carcinoma with metastatic sentinel lymph nodes.

PURPOSE: Secretory carcinoma is a rare form of breast cancer most frequently encountered in children or young adults. Several cases have been described in adults with increased aggressiveness and a risk of metastases. CASE REPORT: We report here, in a 30-year-old woman, a case of local relapse and lymph node metastases occurring 16 years after the initial diagnosis of secretory carcinoma. CONCLUSION: We present the clinical, radiological and pathological findings that led to the diagnosis.
