title: Intracystic papillary carcinoma of the breast.
abstract: The occurrence of a breast carcinoma within a breast cyst is rare. These tumors are usually papillary adenocarcinomas arising from the wall of macrocysts of the breast. The clinicopathologic course in seven patients is reviewed. Modified radical mastectomy has provided satisfactory surgical management and is the recommended therapy.
