a rare case of primary infiltrating neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast

abstract primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast is a very rare malignant tumor. there are not many cases reported in the english literature since it was first documented in 1983. reports on the imaging features, in particular the ultrasonographic features of this rare tumor are scarce. herein, we report a case of aggressive primary infiltrating neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast, masquerading as an inflammatory breast condition in a 22-year-old young lady, perhaps the youngest case ever reported in the english literature. we discuss the imaging features and highlight the doppler ultrasonographic findings of this rare breast carcinoma. this is the first documentation on doppler ultrasonographic findings of primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast in the literature.
