Keywords:
gestational, breast cancer, bilateral
Abstract
The term gestational breast cancer is defined as breast cancer diagnosed during pregnancy and up to 1 year postpartum. Overall incidence rate is 0.7 – 3.8% . These lesions are generally missed on radiology as well as cytology due to physiological and functional changes in mammary gland or misdiagnosed as hyper proliferative change of breast. These may present later in advanced stage of malignancy with axillary lymph node metastasis in 47 to 89 % of cases. Core needle biopsy is a gold standard for it’s diagnosis.. We hereby report two cases of gestational breast cancer with lymph node metastasis.References
