Primary signet ring cell carcinoma of the breast: A case report and literature review.

Abstract

Abstract: Primary signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) of the breast is a rare and aggressive type of breast cancer characterized by increased intracellular mucin production. It has a high risk of metastasis and poor prognosis compared to other breast cancer types. We report a 56-year-old woman with primary SRCC of the breast who first presented with retraction on her left breast. Radiological examination revealed a mass that causes the retraction. The patient underwent left modified radical mastectomy, and pathology results showed a 70% signet ring cell pattern. Chemotherapy consists of an adriamycin-cyclophosphamide regimen administered. in this case, we aim to review the literature on this topic and inform the physicians.
