Özet

Primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast is an extremely rare tumor. We present our experience of primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast m a 76-year-old woman. Surgical biopsies from breast and axillary lymphadenopathy showed a neuroendocrine carcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining of tumor cells with GCDFP15, NSE and chromogranin were positive. Computed tomography scans of the chest and abdomen showed no lesion for metastasis or another primary origin. Adjuvant hormone therapy was given, since the tumor was immunohistochemically receptor positive.
