Abstract
Neuroendocrine tumour of breast is an extremely rare condition. It may present as focal neuroendocrine differentiation with other histological subtypes of breast cancer or primary neuroendocrine tumour of breast or a metastatic foci in breast. There are no radiologic or clinical signs specific to this subtype. With rarity of its occurrence and absence of randomised trials regarding neuroendocrine tumour of breast, very little is known about the behaviour, prognosis and proper management of this condition. Only the available case reports suggests the necessary strategies for optimal management of this minimally explored medical condition.Entities:
