Dr. Priyanka Anand, Dr. Poonam Sahni.

Abstract :

Mucinous carcinoma of east accounts for about 1.5–5% of all primary east carcinomas. Rarely, they can occur with invasive ductal carcinoma, prognosis of which is related to the predominant component. A thirty five year old female presented with bilateral east lumps since 4 months. Family history was not significant. Physical examination revealed a firm, fixed lump in the lower inner quadrant of left east. On Fine– needle aspiration cytology from left east lump, a diagnosis of carcinoma east (C5) was given. Following this, Core cut biopsy was done and histopathological examination was suggestive of mucinous carcinoma. Patient was advised left modified radical mastectomy (MRM) with axillary clearance and a lumpectomy with wide local excision in the right east. Patient is currently under regular follow up period and has received two cycles of chemotherapy. It is important to differentiate mixed mucinous carcinoma from pure mucinous carcinoma as the latter has a favorable prognosis and a better overall survival rate.
