Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Embryology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Ectopic breast tissue arises from incomplete regression of the embryonic mammary line, affecting 1-2% of the population.
  • Carcinoma within ectopic breast tissue is exceptionally rare, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of lobular carcinoma occurring in axillary ectopic breast tissue.
  • To highlight the clinical presentation and management of this rare oncological entity.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of a 51-year-old female patient.
  • Surgical excision of the axillary ectopic breast tissue.
  • Adjuvant radiotherapy following surgical treatment.

Main Results:

  • Diagnosis of lobular carcinoma in the ectopic breast tissue.
  • Successful surgical management and completion of adjuvant radiotherapy.

Conclusions:

  • Lobular carcinoma can occur in ectopic breast tissue, necessitating thorough evaluation and tailored treatment.
  • Multidisciplinary management, including surgery and radiotherapy, is crucial for favorable outcomes in such rare cases.
