Invasive (solid) Papillary Carcinoma of the Breast: A Report of Two Cases

Abstract

Papillary carcinoma is a rare malignant tumour of the breast with an incidence of 1-2% in the general population. The clinical behaviour of solid papillary carcinomas is generally indolent unless it is associated with invasion. Here, we are reporting two cases of solid invasive papillary carcinomas of the breast, who were 2 female patients aged 44 years and 55 years., with breast masses which were diagnosed by FNAC and confirmed by histopathology. The exact incidence and the clinical behaviours of such cases need to be ascertained by further research.
