| A 42-year old woman noticed
a tumor in her left brest-axillary junction. Only a few fragments of
ductal epithelium were obtained with FNAB. The tumor was growing slowly
and 1.5 years latter it was firm, lobulated and measured 10x10 mm. There
was no skin retraction or nipple discharge and no palpable axillary lymph
nodes. Mamography revealed a well delineated lesion measuring 12x10 mm,
seen only on the lateral projections and judged to be a lymph node in m.
pectoralis. FNAB was repeated and the patient operated. A few months ater
the operation a lesion appeared in her left axilla. |
