[Prognostic value of histological rare breast cancer (author's transl)]

Among 835 cases of female breast cancer in the years 1951-1971 we found 44 histological rare cancer (comedo-carcinoma 21, carcinoma cribosum 1, gelatinous carcinoma 8, squamous cell carcinoma 3, mixed carcinoma 11). In agreement with the literature we are able to underline the favourable prognosis of the slow growing forms of the neoplasms like gelatinous carcinoma, comedo-carcinoma and carcinoma cribrosum opposite to squamous cell carcinoma and mixed carcinoma.
