Invasive papillary ductal carcinoma of the breast ? A rare case report

Invasive papillary carcinoma (IPC) constitutes a distinct entity clinically and morphologically out of all mammary carcinoma. Invasive papillary carcinomas are low grade tumors originating from large or dilated ducts. They are composed of well-circumscribed solid nodules of monotonous neoplastic cells separated by a network of fibrovascular cores. IPC is an uncommon type of breast carcinoma and regardless of whether it is in-situ or invasive, it has excellent prognosis. Hence accurate histological diagnosis is essential.
