Abstract:

Atipycal medullary carcinoma is a rare breast carcinoma (less than 4%patients). We report a case of fine needle cytology of atypical medullary carcinoma. It was diagnosed in 43-years-old woman 18 years ago. She also suffered from Morbus Hashimoto and hypothireosis. The tumour was detected by mammography in the upper part of the left breast. Fine needle aspiration cytology with ultrasound guidance of the tumour was performed. Cytological diagnosis of poorly differentiated carcinoma of the breast was put. The patient was operated on (mastectomy) and histological diagnosis of atypical medullary carcinoma was put. The tumour was oestrogen and progesterone receptor negative. It was hyper dyploid with high proliferative activity by flow cytometric DNA analysis. The patient was without any sign of the tumour 15 years after the operation when she died because of the heart failure.
