Article Synopsis
- - Papillary carcinoma is a rare type of breast cancer, often presenting with bloody nipple discharge and typically showing positive estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 receptors for targeted treatments; however, a rare variant called triple-negative papillary carcinoma (TNPC) lacks these receptors.
- - A case is presented involving a 43-year-old woman diagnosed with TNPC after an abnormal mammogram, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing and managing this variant due to its unique characteristics.
- - Treatment primarily involves surgical excision with clear margins, and while adjuvant chemotherapy may be recommended for high-risk cases, there's limited evidence on the effectiveness of targeted therapies and hormone treatments for TNPC, emphasizing the need for more research on appropriate treatment strategies. *
Article Synopsis
- * Imaging tests are not very effective at telling nipple adenomas apart from breast cancer, so doctors need to use tissue samples and special staining techniques for accurate diagnosis.
- * A case involving a 69-year-old woman showed successful management through complete removal of the adenomas, although in some situations, preserving the nipple during a partial excision may also work well.
