Abstract

Medullary breast cancer is a rare type of breast cancer in Saudi Arabia and all over the world. It can be difficult to diagnose and may sometimes overlap with benign lesion such as fibroadenoma on conventional imaging. It has high grade cytology and a syncitial growth pattern and very good prognosis. We report a 32-year-old, single female patient with a huge 20 x 10cm painless firm to hard mass with variable consistency involving almost whole of the right breast
