carcinoma of the axillary Tail of Spence a case series
Anticancer Research, 2012Co-Authors: Federico L Ampil, Gloria Caldito, Benjamin Henderson, Roger H Kim, Gary V Burton, Quyen D ChuAbstract:There is sparse information about cancer in the axillary Tail of Spence (CATS). Eight hundred and thirty-nine patients with breast cancer were retrospectively studied for the occurrence of CATS. Ten patients were identified based on detection by imaging studies. A tendency towards stage II or III disease, and estrogen and progesterone receptor-negative neoplasms in the older age (>45 years) group was observed. Management by conservative or radical surgery, with or without postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, effected an estimated five-year disease-free survival rate of 67%, and rates of local failure, regional recurrence as well as distant metastasis of 0%, 10% and 30%, respectively. The treatment of CATS in accordance with modern day standards of care resulted in acceptable prognosis and disease control.

Primary Malignant Melanoma of the Breast in the Axillary Tail of Spence: a Rare Case Report
Indian Journal of Surgery, 2020Co-Authors: Mahaveer Rodha, Satya Prakash Meena, Mayank Badkur, Mahendra LodhaAbstract:Malignant melanoma is an aggressive tumor of melanocytes. This is a rare occurrence in breast, accounting for less than 0.5% of the total breast tumors. A 42-year-old woman presented with complaints of a lump with ulceration of the overlying skin near the lateral part of the left breast. The differential diagnosis was made as carcinoma left breast or tubercular breast with axillary lymphadenopathy. Core needle biopsy was suggestive of malignant melanoma. She underwent wide local excision with level three axillary lymph node dissection. The final histopathological diagnosis confirmed primary malignant melanoma of breast and ipsilateral axillary lymph node involvement. Primary malignant melanoma of breast in the axillary Tail of Spence is a rare entity and can present as axillary mass. It has mimics as a primary breast carcinoma or tuberculosis of breast clinically and morphologically, becomes a diagnostic dilemma to the surgeon and the pathologist.

the clavipectoral fascia as the unique anatomical criteria for distinguishing breast parenchymal lesions from axillary lymph node metastasis
Journal of Surgical Case Reports, 2019Co-Authors: Antonios Patrinos, τheodoros Piperos, Menelaos Zoulamoglou, Ioannis Flessas, George Noussios, John Tsiaoussis, Maria Zarokosta, Theodoros Mariolis SapsakosAbstract:: Diagnosing primary breast tumors of the axillary Tail of Spence may be extremely challenging, since several lesions may be located in the axillary fossa. In the presented case, a 54-year-old post-menopausal Caucasian female patient presented to our institution complaining about a lump in her left axilla. The preoperative imaging modalities could not clarify whether the tumor is part of the Tail of Spence or metastasis of the axillary lymph nodes. The diagnosis of primary adenocarcinoma of the axillary Tail of Spence was made during a quadrantectomy of the left breast after the clavipectoral fascia, which constitutes the sole anatomical boundary between breast and axilla, was identified.
