RESUMO
Papillary carcinoma of the breast is a rare histologic subtype of invasive breast cancer. In contrast, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a noninvasive, nonobligate precursor to invasive mammary carcinoma, confined within the terminal duct lobular unit of the breast and surrounded by an intact myoepithelial cell layer at the stromal/epithelial interface. We present an unusual case in which a patient with only DCIS of the breast exhibited papillary carcinoma within a sentinel lymph node, leading to questions about the origin of the lymph node lesion-whether it represents a true metastasis or iatrogenic displacement during diagnostic procedures. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges and clinical implications associated with such rare presentations.
RESUMO
NGS used to diagnose and treat NSCLC patient with initial concern for metaplastic breast cancer.
