RESUMO
Papillary carcinoma of the breast is a very rare entity accounting for approx 1 % of all breast carcinomas. The diagnosis is difficult due to different clinical and radiological features. Pathological diagnosis is conclusive. Being aware of the diagnostic difficulties and differences in management from the more commonly reported IDC, makes it easier to treat these patients. Because this is an uncommon disease, we report here 2 cases recently diagnosed and treated in our hospital. We have also reviewed the literature regarding the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of these patients.
