The case report of a 21 years patient who went to the Oncology service in the Government Hospital of Mbabane in Suaziland is presented. She had a nodule in her right breast with manifestations of acute pain for a month. She was referred to the Surgery service where she underwent a core-needle biopsy whose result indicated the presence of a ductal invasive carcinoma, classified in IIIB stage when carrying out the necessary complementary tests. The patient was transferred to South Africa to receive neoadyuvant chemotherapy, with which clinical and humoral response was obtained which was evidenced by tumor reduction and the values of the tumoral marker CA 15-3

Keywords : ductal invasive carcinoma; neoadyuvant chemotherapy; tumoral marker CA 15-3; Suaziland.
