Abstract
- Breast carcinoma has been infrequently reported in children. About 25 cases have been reported in world literatures since first description in 1913, by Bryan. We present a case of juvenile breast carcinoma in a 17 months old girl with brief review of literatures. Grossly, the submitted specimen is grayish white and measured by 1.3x1.0x0.8 cm in size. It is not encapsulated and its cut surfaces are homogeneous. Microscopic examination showed a neoplastic proliferation of duct cells forming mainly glandular spaces with focal papillary pattern, solid sheets or cribriform pattern. The glandular spaces were filled with collections of PAS-positive eosinophilic secretory materials. The individual cell varied from columnar to polygonal and showed moderate hyperchromatism and variation of nuclear size. Mitoses and necrosis are not found. Tumor cell invasion into the stroma was found.
