Bilateral Carcinoma of the Breast: Report of Two Cases

Abstract

During the past six years the writer has had the opportunity of observing two cases of simultaneous bilateral carcinoma of the breast, both of which are of sufficient interest to report in detail. CABE I: Mrs. F., age sixty-six, was first seen in May, 1928. She had always been in good health, but for the past two years had been aware of a tumor in her right breast. This grew slowly at first. Seven months previously it had broken through the skin, and growth became more rapid. There was no pain, but bleeding became so profuse that the patient consplted her family physician, who referred her to us for treatment. FIQB. 1 AND 2. CASE I: Pro. 1 (LEFT), ADENOCUCINOMA OF RIQHT BREAST; FIG. 2 (~Q H T) , ADENOCARCINOMA OF LEFT BREAST
