Lipid secreting breast carcinoma in childhood: a case report.
A ten-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital with a mass in the left breast after a local recurrence following a resection done in a district hospital three months earlier. A modified radical mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection was performed in our department. Histological examination revealed a lipid secreting carcinoma (lipid-rich carcinoma) of the breast. To our knowledge she is the first case in childhood in the literature and is therefore reported.
