Invasive Micropapillary Carcinoma of the Breast With Solid Papillary Carcinoma: A Case Report

Invasive micropapillary carcinoma and Solid papillary carcinomas are rare histologic subtypes of breast cancer. Co-existence of tumors of the breast like invasive ductal and lobular carcinomas, or invasive ductal carcinoma and mucinous carcinomas have been reported before. But the existence of invasive micropapillary carcinoma with solid papillary carcinoma is a rare occurrence. Here, we are reporting a rare case of a 60-year-old female with a mass in her left breast. The histopathology report showed a tumor containing these two histologic subtypes. Recognition of all tumor subtypes is necessary, as this can impact the treatment strategy.
