Apocrine Carcinoma of the Breast

Abstract
|
|
|
Apocrine carcinoma is a rare type of mammary cancer, which shows partial or total
apocrine differentiation in either ductal or lobular carcinoma. The malignant
transformation of apocrine epithelium of the breast was first described by Krompecher in
1916. It is well known that their relationship to true apocrine glands of the skin is only
a morphological similarity, and this histological difference does not affect the prognosis.
The authors experienced two cases of apocrine carcinoma of the breast which involved
infiltrating ductal carcinoma of a 64-year old woman and intraductal carcinoma of a
69-year old woman respectively. Electron microscopic examination and brief review of
literature was done.
