[Synchronous and Unilateral Breast Cancers(Invasive Lobular Carcinoma and Non-Invasive Ductal Carcinoma) - A Case Report].

We report a case of synchronous and unilateral breast cancers in a 51-year-old female.A focal asymmetric right breast density was detected on breast cancer screening mammography.Ultrasonography showed a low echoic mass, 9mm in diameter, in the B area, and a second low echoic mass in the CD area of her right breast.A core needle biopsy of the B area mass led to a diagnosis of an invasive lobular carcinoma, positive for estrogen receptor(ER)and progesterone receptor(PgR), and negative for HER2/neu.One -percent of the tumor cells were Ki-67 positive.Her preoperative diagnosis was Stage I (T1N0M0).She underwent muscle-preserving mastectomy plus sentinel lymph node biopsy.The pathological diagnosis from the resected surgical specimen was invasive lobular carcinoma(B area), positive for ER, and negative for PgR and HER2/neu protein expression.From this, she was additionally diagnosed with non-invasive ductal carcinoma(CD area)that was posi- tive for ER, and negative for PgR and HER2/neu protein expression.The surgical margins were negative, and there were no sentinel lymph node metastases.These tumors were independent.She was given adjuvant endocrine therapy.Two years and 6 months after surgery, the patient was doing well and without metastases.
