  • occult breast cancer and Axillary Mass
    Current Treatment Options in Oncology, 2001
    Co-Authors: Kristin Brill, David R Brenin
    Abstract:

    Occult breast cancer presenting with Axillary metastases is an unusual presentation and can be a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. A comprehensive work-up, including mammogram, sonogram, magnetic resonance imaging, and even pathologic examination of the mastectomy specimen may not disclose the primary tumor in up to one third of patients. Traditionally, occult breast cancer is treated with total mastectomy and Axillary dissection, but accumulating data suggest that primary breast irradiation following Axillary dissection may provide an equivalent survival with the advantage of breast conservation. Occult breast cancer patients are eligible for adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation as stage II/III node-positive patients would be treated. Overall, the prognosis for occult breast cancer is equivalent to or slightly better than staged counterparts with detectable primary breast tumors.

  • bilateral occult breast carcinoma presenting as bilateral Axillary Mass an unusual presentation
    Journal of Cellular Immunotherapy, 2016
    Co-Authors: Kafil Akhtar, Murad Ahmad, Asim Israr Khan, Rana K Sherwani
    Abstract:

    Abstract Occult breast cancer presenting as an Axillary Mass is a rare clinical finding. Less than 5% of breast carcinoma presents as an Axillary Mass without an obvious primary tumor. Axillary lymph node showing metastatic adenocarcinoma poses diagnostic and therapeutic problems, when it is the only clinical presentation. In a significant proportion of breast cancer cases, mammographic detection of micro-calcifications is indicative of the presence of a breast lesion. We present a rare case of a bilateral occult breast carcinoma in a 40 year female with bilateral Axillary Mass without any palpable breast Mass.

  • hypermetabolic Axillary Mass on 18 f fdg pet ct breast cancer arising from accessory breast tissue
    Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 2010
    Co-Authors: Ji Sun Park, Ah Young Lee, Sang Gyun Bae, Seok Mo Lee
    Abstract:

    Differential diagnosis among several causes of Axillary malignant Mass is important. The most common cause of palpable malignant Axillary Mass is metastatic lymphadenopathy. Although carcinoma arising from ectopic breast tissue is rare, the diagnosis should be kept in mind when evaluating malignant Axillary Mass. In this report we present a case with carcinoma arising from ectopic breast tissue. 18F FDG PET/CT was performed for the purpose of localizing primary breast cancer lesion and systemic evaluation. PET/CT showed hypermetabolic lesions only in the right axilla. There is no evidence of malignancy in both breasts. When nuclear physicians encounter a hypermetabolic Axillary Mass indicating malignant lesion without evidence of primary breast malignant lesion, carcinoma arising from ectopic breast tissue should be included in the differential diagnosis.

  • invasive secretory juvenile carcinoma arising in ectopic breast tissue of the axilla
    Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, 2009
    Co-Authors: Sandra J. Shin, Farrukh S Sheikh, Patricia A Allenby, Paul Peter Rosen
    Abstract:

    Abstract Mammary carcinoma arising in ectopic breast tissue is an uncommon occurrence. Most reported cases have involved ductal carcinoma, but other types, such as medullary, papillary, and lobular carcinomas, have been described. For pathologists, the diagnosis of mammary carcinoma arising in ectopic breast tissue can be difficult, especially in the axilla, where carcinoma of adnexal origin must be excluded. We describe a 46-year-old woman who developed invasive (juvenile) secretory carcinoma in ectopic right Axillary breast tissue and micrometastatic carcinoma in an ipsilateral Axillary lymph node. The carcinoma arose in a right Axillary Mass that had been present for 8 years, from which she had secreted fluid during prior breast-feeding. To our knowledge, this is the first report of secretory carcinoma arising in Axillary breast tissue to be documented in the current literature.
