title: [A Case of Minimally Invasive Apocrine Carcinoma Derived from Ductal Adenoma].
abstract: A 63-year-old woman was found to have a mass in her right breast and visited our hospital to undergo a detailed examination. A histopathological examination by using ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy revealed ductal carcinoma in situ. A partial mastectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed for the cancer of the right breast. The postoperative histopathological examination indicated apocrine carcinoma with a predominantly intraductal component without lymph node metastasis. The discrimination between ductal adenoma and apocrine carcinoma sometimes becomes a problem in making decisions about treatment. We need to take care when making a diagnosis.
