Article Synopsis
  • A 73-year-old woman experienced bloody discharge and skin thickening in her right breast, prompting concerns for Paget disease.
  • A skin punch biopsy revealed high-grade infiltrating carcinoma with squamous features, ruling out other types like metaplastic carcinoma due to her medical history.
  • A lumpectomy confirmed invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the nipple, linked to Bowen disease, emphasizing the need for awareness of rare diagnoses in patients with prior breast cancer.

Herein, a case involving a 75-year-old female with a painless lump and bloody discharge from the nipple of her left breast is reported. A diagnosis of malignant tumor was arrived at by observing the location of the tumor, interior echo, margins, vascular distribution, hardness, and microvascular density on preoperative multimodal ultrasonography.

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. *
