title: [Minimal carcinoma of the breast].
abstract: For many years pathologists have argued about the definition and the biologic reasons of what is "early", "minimal" and "occult" breast cancer. Whether these terms really identify entities which today can be meaningful to clinicians and whether the prognostic significance of breast cancer measuring 1 cm or less in diameter should have implications in the treatment decision making will form the subject of this review.
