Long-term recurrence of secretory breast carcinoma with metastatic sentinel lymph nodes.
OBJECTIVE
Secretory carcinoma is a rare form of breast cancer most frequently encountered in children or young adults. Several cases have been described in adults with increased aggressiveness and a risk of metastases.


METHODS
We report here, in a 30-year-old woman, a case of local relapse and lymph node metastases occurring 16 years after the initial diagnosis of secretory carcinoma.


CONCLUSIONS
We present the clinical, radiological and pathological findings that led to the diagnosis.
