Solitary amyloid tumor of the breast
چکیده انگلیسی

Primary breast amyloidosis is uncommon and the solitary amyloid tumor of the breast is rarely mentioned in literature. We report the clinical history of a woman presenting with mammograms an area of clustered microcalcifications, with irregular and pleomorphic morphology, mimicking the onset of a cancer. The core biopsy specimens resulting in breast amyloidosis were in disagreement with the radiological Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) risk, category 4. Moreover, specimens from abdominal subcutaneous fat and bone marrow biopsies showed no evidence of deposition of amyloid material, allowing exclusion of a systemic disease. Because it is reported the frequent association between breast amyloidosis and malignant lesions, a surgical excision of the microcalcifications was performed. Final histology confirmed the benign nature of the lesion consisting in a solitary amyloid tumor of the breast. This case stresses the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration between Radiologists, Surgeons and Pathologists to achieve a correct diagnosis and treatment of this rare breast disease.
