This case report highlights about intracystic papillary
carcinoma of the breast and use of myoepithelial cell marker. Intracystic
papillary carcinoma of the breast is a rare malignant epithelial neoplasm with
papillary pattern surrounded by a fibrous capsule and low to intermediate
nuclear grade. The lesion shows thin fibrovascular stalks surrounded by
neoplastic cells. In most cases, no myoepithelial cell layer within the
papillae or at the periphery of the lesion is seen. Clinically most patients
are elderly and presents with clear or blood-stained nipple discharge or a
definite breast lump. Management
includes complete surgical excision of the lesion with wide surrounding breast
tissue. We report a case of 42 years old woman presented with a painless,
palpable lump in left breast since one and a half years. On examination, the lump was present below
the nipple and areola, was firm, mobile, well-circumscribed, measured 3.0 x 2.0
cms in size; no evidence of nipple retraction, abnormal nipple discharge or
skin thickening.
