ABSTRACT

Apocrine carcinoma of the breast is a rare variant of ductal carcinoma occurring in less than 1% of breast tumors in form pure. The overall prognostic, clinical and mammographic features have not differed significantly from that of nonapocrine carcinomas. In this 72 years old woman the diagnosis of the tumor in the breast was made by aspiration biopsy and confirmed in the histological sections
