Malignant Melanoma of the Nipple: A Case Report.
Journal of Breast Cancer 2018 March
Malignant melanoma rarely originates from the female nipple. Tumors that develop on the skin of the breast are often subject to a delayed diagnosis. Cytologic examination provides excellent diagnostic capabilities and is a safe procedure with a lower risk of local implantation, compared to needle or incisional biopsy. We herein report a patient who underwent surgical resection of a primary malignant melanoma of the nipple. An elastic soft nodule was observed on the left nipple, and no abnormal lesions were identified in the breast. Eventually, a malignant melanoma was diagnosed from the clinical and cytological evaluation findings. This bulky tumor was classified as a stage IIIC nodular melanoma, with a thickness of 12 mm. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy and exhibits no evidence of recurrence 7 years after surgery.
