K. Nakayama et al., SQUAMOUS-CELL CARCINOMA OF THE BREAST - REPORT OF A CASE DIAGNOSED BYFINE-NEEDLE ASPIRATION CYTOLOGY, Acta cytologica, 37(6), 1993, pp. 961-965
A 66-year-old woman presented with pure squamous cell carcinoma of the
breast, a rare occurrence. The incidence of pure squamous cell carcin
oma of the breast is lower than that of the mixed type. The preoperati
ve diagnosis could be made by fine needle aspiration cytology. A modif
ied radical mastectomy was performed. The patient was doing well, with
no evidence of recurrence, 17 months after surgery.
