Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Pure mucinous carcinoma is a rare type of breast carcinoma, but it usually has a favorable prognosis. Tumors of pure mucinous carcinoma are typically positive for both estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR), and they do not commonly overexpress human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). However, when tumors have HER2 overexpression and are progesterone receptor negative, the prognosis is worse.

PATIENT CONCERNS: A 59-year-old female reported a slow growth mass of 3 years, which was radiologically diagnosed as fibroadenoma at another institution. The patient came to our institution for treatment and follow-up. She had no salient past history.

DIAGNOSIS: Excisional biopsy revealed a pure mucinous breast carcinoma that was ER (100%, moderate-strong intensity), PR(-), 5% Ki-67 (+), and HER2(3+) by immunohistochemistry. The HER2 gene was found to be amplified by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The clinical staging was T2N0M0, with pathological grade I, subtype luminal B.

INTERVENTIONS: After a modified radical mastectomy, she received four 21-day cycles of intravenous docetaxel (75 mg/m), intravenous cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m), and intravenous trastuzumab (8 mg/kg) (loading dose) on day 1 followed by 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks to complete a full year of treatment. She then received 2.5 mg of letrozole daily for 5 years.

OUTCOMES: After following up for 2 years, the patient's outcome was survival without recurrence. Cardiac ultrasounds were performed every 3 months and there was no change in the left ventricular ejection fraction (LEVF).

CONCLUSION: It is essential to correctly diagnose the ER(+), PR(-) HER2(+) subtype in mucinous carcinoma. This type should be treated with chemotherapy and anti-HER2 therapy, as well as aromatase inhibitor endocrine therapy.

  1. I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in August 2010. A valuable friend told me about Dr. Itua Herbal Center in West Africa. She gave me her phone number and email address.
