Synchronous occurrence of lobular breast carcinoma and granulosa cell tumor of ovary mimicking metastatic lobular breast carcinoma

Unusual Metastatic Patterns of Invasive Lobular Carcinoma of the Breast

Invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast has similar patterns of metastatic disease when compared to invasive ductal carcinoma; however, lobular carcinoma metastasizes to unusual sites more frequently. We present a 65-year-old female with a history of invasive lobular breast carcinoma (T3N3M0) treated with modified radical mastectomy and aromatase-inhibitor therapy who underwent a surveillance ...

Metastatic lobular carcinoma.

[Thyroid metastasis of lobular breast carcinoma].

The thyroid gland is an uncommon site for distant metastases from extra-cervical tumors. Malignant melanoma and kidney, lung, breast, and gastrointestinal carcinomas are the most common origins of these rare metastases. We report the case of a patient with rapidly progressive thyroid metastasis from a lobular breast carcinoma operated on three years previously. An 83-year-old female patient und...

Pleomorphic Lobular Carcinoma in a Male Breast: A Rare Occurrence

Carcinoma of male breast is uncommon as it accounts for 0.7% of total breast cancer. The pathology of male breast cancer is remarkably similar to that of cancers seen in women. The same histological subtypes of invasive cancer are present, although papillary carcinomas (both invasive and in situ) are more common and lobular carcinomas are less common. The predominant histological type, in males...

Lobular carcinoma of the male breast.

BACKGROUND A case of lobular carcinoma in a male breast is described. Lobular carcinoma is a very uncommon histopathologic form of male breast cancer because of the absence of lobules in the normal male breast. The cytoarchitecture of the normal male breast can be deranged in conditions such as Klinefelter's syndrome or as a result of estrogen exposure. Lobular carcinoma of the male breast has ...
