Pure Mucinous Carcinoma of the Breast

Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a well differentiated, rare histological type of invasive ductal carcinoma, seen in oldest median age (69 years). We describe a case of a 60 yr old female with large right breast mass of 10 years duration with no nodal involvement. The reasons to present this case are 1) Because of its rarity. 2) Despite having a large tumour size, the axillary lymph node ...

Pure mucinous breast carcinoma: a favorable subtype.

BACKGROUND Pure mucinous breast carcinoma is a relatively rare subtype of breast malignancy. This study is to investigate the clinical and pathologic features of pure mucinous breast carcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective review of our database of patients who presented with breast cancer was performed. The medical records of 1,060 patients with invasive breast cancer who underwent s...

Mucinous Carcinoma of the Breast with Neuroendocrine Differentiation

Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a well-differentiated type of adenocarcinoma accounting for 2-5% of all breast cancers. Pure mucinous carcinoma of the breast has a favorable prognosis, usually seen in post-menopausal women. Neuroendocrine differentiation has been described in both in-situ and infiltrating breast cancers .Mucinous carcinomas of the breast appear to have the greatest associat...

Pure Mucinous Carcinoma of Breast - A Rare Case Report

Mucinous carcinoma is a type of ductal carcinoma with a low malignant potential. These tumors account for 2% of the breast carcinomas. These neoplasms are characterized by tumor cells floating in the pools of mucin. The prognosis of pure mucinous carcinoma is favourable when compared to the invasive ductal carcinoma, not otherwise specified. We report a case of 80years female patient presenting...

MicroRNA and histopathological characterization of pure mucinous breast carcinoma

OBJECTIVE Pure mucinous breast carcinoma (PMBC) is an uncommon histological type of breast cancer characterized by a large amount of mucin production. MicroRNA (miRNA) is a large class of small noncoding RNA of about 22 nt involved in the regulation of various biological processes. This study aims to identify the miRNA expression profile in PMBC. METHODS MiRNA expression profiles in 11 PMBCs ...
