Abstract

Keratoacanthoma (KA) of the breast can be mistaken for breast carcinoma due to its rapidly growing and ulcerating nature. Here we present a case with solitary KA originating from breast skin which clinically resembled breast carcinoma. A 65-year-old woman admitted with a 30 × 30 mm exophytic lesion on the upper outer quadrant of her left breast with irregular margins, ulcerated center, and an unpleasant scent. Mammography revealed a soft and lobulated tissue mass with a superficial localization and a lucent halo which makes projections close to the papilla. However no distortion, retraction or spiculation was observed around this mass. Breast ultrasound revealed that the tumoral mass which caused a vegetative protuberation was limited with the skin and did not invade breast tissue. The lesion was considered breast carcinoma on clinical grounds and fusiform partial excisional biopsy was performed under local anesthesia. Histopathological exam revealed KA. The mass was then excised totally by excisional biopsy under local anesthesia. The patient did not develop recurrence for up to 15 months of follow-up period even without receiving any adjuvant chemotherapy.

Özet

Meme derisinde görülen keratoakantom (KA)'lar hızlı büyümesi ve ülsere olabilmesi nedeniyle klinik olarak meme karsinomu ile karıştırılabilir. Biz meme derisinden kaynaklanan, klinik olarak meme karsimonu taklit eden soliter KA lu bir olguyu sunduk. 65 yaşındaki bayan hasta sol meme üst dış kadranda yaklaşık 30 × 30 mm boyutunda kenarları düzensiz, central ülsere, ekzofitik, kötü kokulu lezyon ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Mamografi de papillaya yakın projeksiyon oluşturan, yüzeyel yerleşim gösteren, lüsent bir halosu olan, lobüle yumuşak doku kitlesi olarak görülmüş olup kitle çevresine yaklaşan meme işaretlerinde herhangi distorsiyon, çekilme, ve spikülasyon görülmemiştir. Meme ultrasonograf sinde lezyon cilde sınırlı ve ciltten vegetan kabarıklık gösteren tümöral oluşum olarak izlenmiş olup memede herhangi invazyon bulgusu görülmemiştir. Klinik olarak meme kanseri düşünülen lezyona lokal anestezi altında fusiform partial eksizyonel biopsi uygulandı. Histopatolojik incelemesi KA ile uyumlu idi. Lokal anestezi altında eksizyonel biyopsi ile kitle tamamen çıkartıldı. Adjuvant kemoterapi uygulanmayan hasta operasyondan sonra 15 ay takip edildi. Rekürrens gelişmedi.
