Abstract

In general, neuroendocrine cancer develops in the digestive or respiratory tract, and when it is found in other organs, it is often due to metastasis. Primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast occurs very rarely, and the exact clinical picture, radiological findings, treatment and prognosis are not well known. Furthermore, only a small number of literature reports have been published. Here, we report the imaging findings of primary neuroendocrine carcinoma in the breast of a 51-year-old female, along with a literature review.

일반적으로 신경내분비암은 소화기나 호흡기에서 발생하고 그 외 장기에서 발견되는 경우는 전이에 의한 경우가 많다. 유방에서 원발성 신경내분비암종은 매우 드물게 발생하여 정확한 임상양상, 영상의학적 소견, 치료와 예후에 대해 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 또한 지금까지 발표된 문헌 보고는 소수에 불과하다. 본 증례에서는 51세 여자의 유방에서 보인 원발성 신경내분비 암종에 대한 영상 소견을 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
