ABSTRACT
El carcinoma secretor de mama es una entidad poco frecuente caracterizada por un material eosinófilo, acelular y PAS diastasa positivo intra- y extracelular. Su curso clínico es benigno sin presentar recidivas ni metástasis pese a su fenotipo triple negativo. Suele presentarse en gente joven y la multicentricidad es muy inusual. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 32 años con un carcinoma secretor de mama multicéntrico, realizando un análisis de la literatura y estudiando las principales características de esta entidad
Secretory carcinoma of the breast is a rare entity, characterized by the presence of intra- and extracellular, eosinophilic and acelular secretions. They are negative for hormone receptors and do not express human epidermal growth factor receptor HER-2/neu. However, the clinical outcome is favorable. Multicentricity is very unusual. We report a case of a 32-year-old woman with a multicentric secretory carcinoma of the breast. The main pathological features are discussed together with a review of the pertinent literature

Secretory carcinoma of the breast is a rare entity, characterized by the presence of intra- and extracellular, eosinophilic and acelular secretions. They are negative for hormone receptors and do not express human epidermal growth factor receptor HER-2/neu. However, the clinical outcome is favorable. Multicentricity is very unusual. We report a case of a 32-year-old woman with a multicentric secretory carcinoma of the breast. The main pathological features are discussed together with a review of the pertinent literature.
