✦ Synopsis

Fifty-two women with typical medullary breast carcinoma, diagnosed according to criteria of Ridolfi et al. [Cancer 40:1365-1385, 19771 are described. At the time of diagnosis, 90% of the patients were stages I and 11. The primary tumor size was d to 4 cm in 46 (88.5%) and >4 cm in 6 (1 1.5%) patients. Axillary lymph nodes were microscopically negative in 35 (67.3%) and positive in 17 (32.7%) patients. All 52 women underwent the Patey operation. Seventeen patients with microscopically positive axillary lymph nodes received postoperative irradiation. Of the 52 treated patients, 44 (84.6%) survived 10 years NED. The only prognostic factor was the microscopical axillary lymph nodes status. In the group of pNO patients, 97.1% survived 10 years NED, pN+ 58.8% only. The sole causes of unsuccessful treatment were distant metastases to lungs, hepar, and bones. Typical medullary carcinoma is a favorable histological type of breast carcinoma with very good prognosis for pNO patients.

The hallmarks of diagnosis of medullary breast cancer (MedBC) used by the authors since 1977 have been that the tumor is well circumscribed, has syncytial architecture in greater than 75% of its surface, contains diffuse inflammatory infiltrate, has atypical nuclei, and forms no glandular pattern.
