Abstract
A forty-three-year-old patient was admitted for occasional blood-tinged discharge from the right breast. Clinical testings comfirmed a justified suspicion of a malignant process in the right breast. Galactoforectomy was performed, and the pathohistological analysis of the material thus obtained confirmed the diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast. The mentioned tumor lesion, measured using an ocular micrometer, was 1.5 mm in diameter, and beside it intraductal carcinomas in situ were also found. Following such a histologic finding, the surgical treatment was extended to include quadrantectomy. Pathohistologic serial sections of the removed extra portion of the breast showed no evidence of residual tumor. Adjuvant radiotherapy plus hormonal therapy are recommended to additionally improve an already good prognosis of the disease.
