ABSTRACT
Intracystic papillary carcinoma of the breast (ICPC) is a very rare entity and represents 0.5 to 1% of all breast carcinomas. It may present a misleading cystic appearance and is generally characterized by slow growth with a good prognosis. Echo-mammography guides the diagnosis, Histology often reveals a papillary carcinoma. We report a case of ICPC revealed by histologically proven axillary lymph node metastasis, in a patient treated by conservative surgery, followed by radiotherapy and hormonal therapy based on Tamoxifen offering good locoregional and distant control. The aim of this study is to recall the diagnostic, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of this rare tumor.
