Invasive micropapillary breast carcinoma in a young lactating woman: A rare entity

Abstract

Breast carcinoma is the most common malignancy in women with high mortality rates if diagnosed in advanced stages. Breast carcinoma is not uncommon in pregnant and lactating women but is usually diagnosed late due to physiological hormonal changes. Invasive micropapillary breat carcinoma is a rare variant. Here we describe a case of this rare entity in a young lactating woman.
