ABSTRACT
A cyst in the breast containing a thick wall, internal septations, or a solid intracystic component is defined as a complex solid and cystic breast mass. These lesions carry a malignant potential between 23-31% and thus require further evaluation with biopsy [1]. We report six cases in which patients were found to have a complex solid and cystic mass, all of which were proven to be malignant breast cancers of varying etiologies. We also review the literature on malignant etiologies of complex solid and cystic breast masses, including their clinical presentation, work-up, histopathologic and immunochemistry findings, treatment, and prognosis.
