Date of Publication: 09 March 2023. | Journal: | Cureus | Abstract: | We report a case of a 45-year-old female who developed multi-focal encapsulated papillary carcinoma (EPC) in her left breast. This was on a background of previous left breast high-grade ductal carcinoma in situ, for which she had a skin-sparing mastectomy and deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) reconstruction five years ago. Papillary carcinoma is a rare pathology, and its occurrence in autologous breast reconstruction is even rarer. This is the second reported case of papillary carcinoma in a DIEP reconstruction. Although surgery remains the gold standard for EPC, debate remains with regard to adjuvant endocrine therapy and radiotherapy. We discuss the diagnosis and current management of an EPC. | DOI: | http://monash.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7759/cureus.35963 | PubMed URL: | 37050985 | URI: | https://repository.monashhealth.org/monashhealthjspui/handle/1/57686 | Type: | Article | Subjects: | autologous flap breast cancer encapsulated papillary carcinoma intracystic papillary carcinoma |
