Abstract:

The WHO categorizes the breast tumors in 21 distinct histological types based on cell morphology and architecture. A widely accepted fact that the aggressive nature of the breast cancer can be determined by its histological type, grade, nodal status, and metastasis holds the ground even in the era of Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and molecular.
An extremely rare variant of primary breast carcinoma belongs to the family of mucin‑producing carcinoma sharing the same histology as the mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary and pancreas. Similar to our case, most of these tumors are reported in postmenopausal females aged between 47 and 96 years. Due to the rarity of these tumors, there is an extreme paucity of literature on this topic. Most of the literature available is in the form of case reports. We show a 68 years old patient with a breast tumor, with a starting biopsy papillary proliferation disease, a tumorectomy reported phyllodes with mucinous cystadenocarcinoma with narrow border after that, the patient was programmed a radical modify mastectomy with nodal axillary dissection. She is alive without adjuvant treatment afterward for 21 months.
