Abstract

The authors present a case of an 82-year-old woman with on invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast (ILC) diagnosed ten years ago in a left axillary adenopathy. Physical and mammographic findings appeared as normal. Some considerations are made about the low incidence, the clinical examination and mammographic findings. ILC is reported as being frequently multicentric and bilateral. The uncommon challenge of this clinical case is presented.
