A case of bilateral intracystic papillary carcinoma breast.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Intracystic papillary carcinoma breast is an uncommon breast cancer consisting of 0.5-1.0% of all breast cancers. Papillary carcinoma is further subdivided into intraductal and intracystic papillary carcinoma. Intracystic papillary carcinoma is further divided into pure intracystic papillary carcinoma or associated with in situ carcinoma. The clinical and radiological features of intracystic papillary carcinoma are not specific, hence a high chance of misdiagnosis. Here we report a case of intracystic papillary carcinoma of both breasts which created a diagnostic dilemma.
