چکیده
Solid papillary carcinoma of breast is rare variety of breast cancer. Here we report one such case of a 46 year female patient presented with painless lump in left breast. After provisional diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in fine needle aspiration cytology, the patient underwent modified radical mastectomy. On histopathology, diagnosis of solid papillary carcinoma of breast was made. The tumor was node negative and with strong ER & PR expression and Chromogranin A expression. Increasing awareness of this clinicopathologic entity would be helpful in proper diagnosis and formulating treatment plan. Key-words:Solid Papillary Carcinoma, Estrogen and Progesterone Receptor, Neuroendocrine Markers. Key Messages: Solid papillary carcinoma of breast is a rare entity. Judicious morphological examination is needed for its diagnosis. Positivity for hormone receptors is noted in this group of tumour and patients do have a really good prognosis.
