Abstract
Primitive neuroendocrine carcinomas of the breast are rare tumors. They are now included in the latest WHO classification of tumors of the breast. We report the case of a 39-year old patient with tumor located in the breast. It was a locally advanced tumor that required mastectomy and ipsilateral axillary node dissection. Adjuvant chemotherapy was indicated. The evolution was marked by local progression. The patient died in a state of febrile pancytopenia after a one-year survival.Entities:
