Abstract

Apocrine carcinoma in situ of breast is a rare, unique, and morphologically distinct type of breast carcinoma. Low-grade apocrine ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and apocrine metaplasia with atypia are the pathologic spectrum of apocrine breast lesions. Differentiating these two lesions is difficult due to partial microscopic overlap. We describe a case of apocrine DCIS which presented an asymptomatic hypoechoic mass with morphological change on a follow up ultrasonography.
