Medullary breast carcinoma has been regarded as a type of ductal carcinoma with a relatively favorable prognosis despite its high nuclear grade and mitotic index. The case of 87 year-old patient operated on for medullary carcinoma of the right breast 41 years ago is presented. Currently, she remains free of metastatic disease. This case is interesting for the medical personnel dedicated to the treatment of this disease since she is the patient operated on for breast cancer with the longest survival in the province of Cienfuegos.
