Tumori. 2005 Sep-Oct;91(5):418-20. doi: 10.1177/030089160509100507.

Abstract

Squamous cell breast carcinoma is a rare occurrence. Often the tumor is metastatic from an extramammary primary tumor. In order to determine the nature of the lesion, extensive sampling is necessary. We report a case of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast diagnosed by vacuum-assisted core biopsy.
