Cáncer mucinoso de la mama

Abstract

A 49-year-old woman was admitted to the integral breast diagnostic Unit due to a palpable, non-painful tumor in the upper quadrants of the left breast. Diagnostic mammography and 3D tomography study were performed, showing a tumor with lobulated margins, suspicious of malignancy, the internal structure of the reported lesion was analyzed by bilateral breast ultrasound with a high-resolution and multi-frequency transducer, showing that it had a heterogeneous internal structure solid-cystic type, with areas of peripheral cystic appearance that, due to their suspicion, a biopsy is performed, obtaining the result of mucinous breast cancer with a micropapillary pattern. The magnetic resonance study allows us to obtain greater characteristics of the aforementioned etiology and the true extension of the disease, this being negative.
