Occult breast cancer (OBC) presents diagnostic challenges. A multidisciplinary approach involving axillary lymph node dissection, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormone therapy led to a successful disease-free outcome in a 58-year-old patient.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Radiology
- Breast Surgery
Background:
- Occult breast cancer (OBC) is a rare condition where breast cancer metastasizes to lymph nodes without a detectable primary tumor on imaging.
- Diagnosis and treatment of OBC pose significant challenges due to the absence of a visible primary lesion.
