Small Cell Carcinoma of the Breast

We report the case of an 81-year-old woman with limitedstage small cell carcinoma of the left breast who presented with multiple painful nodules in the left breast. The patient was treated with systemic chemotherapy and consolidation radiation therapy without undergoing surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature of small cell carcinoma of the breast managed definitively with chemotherapy and local-regional irradiation for which the details of treatment are explicitly described.
