“…Consequently, the delayed sexual maturation observed in our patient is probably unrelated to the underlying disease. Hormonal receptor assays for estrogen and progesterone have been performed in only three cases of SCB and were found negative in 2 children and in 1 adult [15,19,20]. In the case reported here the progesterone receptors (PR) were high (19 fmol/mg protein) and the estrogen receptors (ER) were negative.…”

“…Our patient underwent a partial mastectomy with lymph node dissection, followed by 30 Gy irradiation. Radiotherapy was added because of the reported cases of local recurrence [1,8], although it may be used also for lymph node metastasis found at the initial treatment or at follow-up [2, 11,12,17,19,21]. Nevertheless, the issue of radiotherapy for this tumor remains controversial in view of the possible complications of glandular atrophy and failure of development of the adolescent breast after this procedure.…”

A 17-year-old boy underwent a wide partial mastectomy with axillary dissection for secretory breast cancer, followed by low grade irradiation (30 Gy). There were no axillary lymph node metastases. Hormone receptor assay of the tumor was positive for progesterone and negative for estrogen. There was no local recurrence or sign of dissemination after nearly 5 years. Literature search revealed 21 cases of secretory breast cancer in childhood and adolescence; in only 2 cases was the hormonal status studied. We report an additional case and review the literature.

“…Clinical reports [2,3,6,7] and a few short series [8,9] have been published. Generally, the most fre-quently encountered carcinoma is the so-called "juvenile" or secretory type, although other types of carcinoma commonly found in adults have also been reported [10].…”

We report 4 new cases of breast carcinoma in teenage girls diagnosed by use of histochemical and immunohistochemical methods. These cases of breast carcinoma in women under 20 years of age were found in the files of our department in the last 24 years (1976-2000). The patients had operable breast carcinomas corresponding to various histologic types (1 invasive ductal carcinoma associated with fibroadenoma, 2 secretory carcinomas, and 1 invasive lobular-type carcinoma). Simple mastectomy with low axillary lymph node dissection was performed in 2 postpubertal patients. Only 1 patient received adjuvant chemotherapy (case 4). After follow-up ranging from 76 to 126 months, 3 patients are alive and disease-free and 1 has disseminated metastatic disease. The correlations with prognosis-related risk factors (stage, age, previous benign lesions, family history, histologic types, hormonal receptors, and pregnancy) were examined.

“…Radiotherapy is commonly used in cases of local recurrence (7,18,19). Except for a few cases reported in the literature (11,14) in which the behavior of the neoplasm was more aggressive, most of the carcinomas in children, including our case, have shown a characteristic pattern (20,21). No deaths of children have been reported.…”

Breast Carcinoma in Childhood and Adolescence: Case Report and Review of the Literature

et al. 1999

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Secretory breast carcinoma is a rare tumor originally described in children and adolescent women with a characteristic morphology and a controversial choice of treatment. We report an additional case of a 4-year-old girl with a breast tumor diagnosed as a secretory carcinoma without involvement of the axillary lymph nodes. The therapy consisted of simple mastectomy and low axillary dissection. She presented with a local recurrence near the surgical scar 8 months later, and a wide elliptical excision of the scar and underlying tissue was performed with subsequent radiotherapy of the surgical bed. This tumor has a relatively benign behavior and rarely metastasizes. A literature review revealed only 22 cases of breast carcinoma in childhood and adolescence.
