Carcinome neuroendocrine du sein: à propos d’un cas et revue de la littérature

Abstract: Les carcinomes neuroendocrines primitifs (CNEP) du sein sont des tumeurs rares. Ils sont actuellement inclus dans la dernière classification de l'OMS des tumeurs du sein. Nous rapportons un cas de localisation mammaire chez une patiente de 39 ans. Il s'agissait d'une tumeur localement avancée ayant nécessité une mastectomie et un curage ganglionnaire axillaire homolatérale. Une chimiothérapie adjuvante était indiquée. L’évolution était marquée par une poursuite évolutive locale. La patiente est décédée dans un… Show more

“…Mammary localization is very rare, accounting for less than 0.1% of all breast cancers and less than 1% of neuroendocrine tumors [1, 5]. Our observation illustrates the diagnostic difficulties encountered in practice by underequipped pathological laboratories in Black Africa (e.g., absence of immunodetection technology and electron microscopy).…”

“…There are two forms of breast NEC: the pure form exclusively composed of neuroendocrine cells and the mixed or composite form that is less well-differentiated [2, 4]. The composite form often poses diagnostic difficulties, especially for laboratories lacking immunohistochemical techniques, which explains the extreme rarity of the cases reported by African authors [5]. We report a primary composite neuroendocrine carcinoma in a 13-year-old Togolese girl confirmed by immunohistochemistry.…”

“…Malignancy must be considered in cases of recent-onset gynecomastia associated with smoking [8]. In addition, it is imperative to distinguish between a primary breast and metastasized pulmonary SLCS because the therapeutic approach and the prognosis are different [3,9,10].…”
