“…However, subsequent reports suggested that only a third of the published cases occurred in children, and the median age for patients with an SBC is 25 years 126. SBCs account for <1% of invasive breast carcinomas and are characterised clinically by late local recurrences and prolonged survival even with lymph node involvement 5 7 1012.…”
