[Mucous-secreting breast cancer].
3 groups are distinguished among 219 cases of the breast carcinoma with mucus formation: one-component colloid carcinoma, combined colloid carcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma. Morphological features and prognosis for each group are listed. One-component colloid carcinoma has the most favourable prognosis: incidence of distant metastases 15% versus 27% and 33% in combined colloid and signet ring cell carcinoma, respectively. Signet ring cell carcinoma should obviously be regarded as a variant of invasive lobular carcinoma.
