Abstract;A 71-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for diagnosis of her left breast mass. She had a history of multiple neurofibromas and cafe-au-lait spots over the whole body since 30 years of age. On admission, the tumor was located at the upper outer quadrant of her left breast. Mammography, ultrasonography and MRI were consistent with a diagnosis of breast cancer. An excisional biopsy revealed the tumor to be breast cancer and left modified radical mastectomy (Bt+Ax) was performed. Histopathologically the breast tumor was invasive ductal carcinoma (scirrhous) without lymph node involvement. Postoperative staging was pT1cN0M0, stage I, according to the TNM classification. The tumor was negative for estrogen receptor and positive for progesterone receptor. The postoperative course was uneventful, and she is currently healthy without recurrent disease. (author abst.)
