Primary neuroendocrine breast cancer (NEBC), also known as breast cancer with neuroendocrine differentiation, comprises a heterogeneous group of rare invasive breast carcinomas. The diagnosis depends on excluding metastasis from other sites, because the two entities require different management approaches. In this case report, we seek to explore and share our experience of primary NEBC, and provide a literature review.
