Ectopic lobular Breast cancer on the anterior chest wall: a rare entity
Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2006Co-Authors: M Y A Van Herwaarden-lindeboom, R. Van Hillegersberg, P. J. Van DiestAbstract:A 46-year-old woman with a rare case of infiltrating lobular carcinoma in Ectopic Breast tissue on the anterior chest wall is presented. Wide local excision and lymphatic mapping with, consequently, a sentinel node biopsy, seem adequate therapy for Ectopic Breast cancer. Ectopic Breast tissue arises from the primitive milk line, with an incidence of 0.6–6%.1 Malignant transformation is rare.2 The most frequently occurring manifestation is infiltrating ductal carcinoma, comprising 79% of all Ectopic Breast malignancies.3 Lobular-type and medullary-type carcinomas are seen in

A 46-year-old Caucasian woman presented with a subcutaneous mass in a cicatrice of the anterior chest wall approximately 1–2 cm below the caudal rim of the mammary …

Ectopic Breast cancer case report and literature review
Surgical Oncology-oxford, 1994Co-Authors: M B Marshall, J J Moynihan, Andra R Frost, Stephen R T EvansAbstract:Abstract Ectopic Breast tissue includes both supernumerary and aberrant Breast tissue. The incidence of supernumerary tissue has been reported as high as 6% depending on the ethnic group studied. The incidence of aberrant Breast tissue remains unknown. The development of malignancy within these anomalies is rare. In the following paper, the case report of a patient with an Ectopic Breast cancer and a second primary cancer of the left anatomic Breast is described. A review of the world literature on Ectopic Breast cancer follows. Specific characteristics of Ectopic Breast cancer are defined and recommendations for management are made.

bilateral axillary Ectopic Breast tissue
The Lancet, 2012Co-Authors: F Seifert, Martina Rudelius, Johannes Ring, Jan Gutermuth, Christian AndresAbstract:A 14-year-old girl presented with progressively growing bilateral painful axillary tumours (fi gure A). Histopathology showed slightly hyperplastic glandular tissue without cytological atypia within the reticular dermis and fatty tissue (fi gure B). The glandular epithelium stained positive for oestrogen and progesterone receptors (fi gure C), which led to the diagnosis of Ectopic Breast tissue. An MRI scan showed extensive axillary Breast tissue without connection to the eutopic Breasts (fi gure D). Ectopic Breast tissue occurs in 2–6%

primary carcinoma of Ectopic axillary Breast tissue
Journal of The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 2006Co-Authors: Jan Gutermuth, Heike Audring, C Voit, N HaasAbstract:The presence of Ectopic Breast tissue is reported in 2-6% of the general population with most cases being located in the axillary region. Although the same pathology occurs in both eutopic and Ectopic Breast tissue, primary carcinoma of Ectopic Breast tissue has been reported only in a small number of cases. Because an overlying accessory areola or nipple is often missing and because of a general lack of awareness among physicians and patients concerning these unsuspicious nodules, clinical diagnosis is frequently delayed. Histological diagnosis can also be delayed if Ectopic Breast tissue is not present or screened for in the biopsy specimens as apocrine glands of the Breast and skin, respectively, exhibit striking similarities and immunohistochemistry is of limited help. Diagnostic delay is demonstrated by the case of a 56-year-old patient who underwent a series of four surgical excisions of a primary Ectopic Breast carcinoma and developed local lymph node metastasis until treatment with tamoxifen was started. As two-thirds of reported cases of primary Ectopic Breast carcinoma arose within the axillae, this case underlines the importance of a search for Ectopic Breast tissue in the context of axillary ductal carcinoma.

fine needle aspiration diagnosis of carcinoma arising in an Ectopic Breast a case report
Acta Cytologica, 1995Co-Authors: J Vargas, M Nevado, Jose Luis Rodriguezperalto, P P De AgustinAbstract:BACKGROUND : Ectopic Breast tissue has been found at many anatomic locations. Neoplastic and hyperplastic lesions similar to those that develop in the normal Breast can occur in supernumerary ones. CASE : A 45-year-old female presented with a 30-cm, firm, subcutaneous mass in the left side of the chest wall that was clinically considered an Ectopic Breast. Fine needle aspiration biopsy showed irregular clusters and single epithelial cells with marked atypia, pleomorphism and occasional magenta bodies. CONCLUSION : This case illustrates that fine needle aspiration biopsy is a rapid and highly specific technique that can be used as the first diagnostic step in cases of carcinoma arising in an Ectopic Breast.

a case of Ectopic Breast cancer with a literature review
Surgical Oncology-oxford, 2011Co-Authors: Yasuhiro Nihonyanagi, Tetsuro Ueda, Noriaki Kameda, Shinichi OkazumiAbstract:Abstract A 63-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of a right axillary nodule in 2004. Physical examination showed a spherical nodule measuring 0.5 cm in diameter in the right axilla. No mass was palpable in either Breast. Mammograms were normal. Ultrasonography revealed a subcutaneous hypoechoic mass 0.7 mm in maximum diameter in the right axilla. The patient underwent an excisional biopsy. Histological examination revealed an invasive ductal carcinoma (scirrhous carcinoma) in Ectopic Breast tissue. The patient subsequently underwent a wide local excision of the tissue surrounding the biopsy scar, with axillary lymph node dissection. Histologically, no residual tumor or nodal metastasis was found. Postoperatively, she received endocrine therapy and remains well, without any evidence of recurrence 4 years 10 months after operation. Cancer of the Ectopic Breast tissue is rare, and most cases present as a solitary axillary mass. Long-term outcomes remain unclear. We present a case of Breast carcinoma in the axillary Ectopic mammary gland and summarize the clinical features of 94 cases, including ours, in Japan. We also compare long-term survival between Ectopic Breast cancer and usual Breast cancer according to TNM T stage and lymph node metastasis.
