Resumen

SAURE SARRIA, Víctor Manuel; CARDOSO HERNANDEZ, Jorge  y  HERNANDEZ HERRERA, Leonardo. Occult cancer of the breast: a case presentation. AMC [online]. 2010, vol.14, n.5. ISSN 1025-0255.

Background: breast cancer is a growing and defiant problem for health services in the entire world. Development: it is presented the experience on diagnosis and treatment of occult cancer of the breast at the Educational Provincial Oncology Hospital of Camagüey. This disease represents around 1% of all breast cancers. It is shown like an ipsilateral adenopathy without demonstrable mammary nodule; the staging is made inside the traditional TNM system with stages that goes from a IIb, until a IIIb. Nowadays a different surgical behavior is applied more centred in the treatment of the axilla that evolves from a radical mastectomy in any of its variants until only an homolateral axillary évidement. In the Oncological Hospital of Camagüey three new cases of occult carcinoma of the breast were diagnosed in the last two years which receive a different treatment, because the behavior in the face of this disease is still controversial. Conclusions: the present work demonstrates the experience in diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
