The term "intracystic papillary ductal carcinoma in situ", has recently changed and is now more appropriately referred to as "intracystic papillary carcinoma'' constituting only 0.5% to 1% of all breast cancers. Herein, we discuss an unusual case of intracystic insitu papillary carcinoma of breast in a postmenopausal woman, the diagnosis of which was made on histopathology and confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Patient responded well to postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy without any recurrence, thereby preventing further morbidity and mortality related to invasion or tumor progression. So careful histopathological evaluation is the mainstay to arrive at the correct diagnosis to avoid untoward complications related to under diagnosis and /over diagnosis.
