Abstract

Locally advanced breast cancer is an aggressive and rare type of neoplasm that can be treated by surgical interventions and systemic therapies. This diagnosis presents a high risk of mortality due to the high potential for metastasis. K.C.S., 36 years old, was evaluated with a palpable nodule in August 2021, measuring 5cm, firm, mobile and painless in QSE/MD. Therefore, an US was requested, which showed a solid, heterogeneous and poorly defined mass in QSE/MD measuring 3.3x2.3cm, and a biopsy showing atypia. The pathology was compatible with invasive ductal carcinoma, grade 3, without angiolymphatic invasion. Subsequently, a mammogram and immunohistochemistry were requested, and she was referred for chemotherapy. In August 2022, radical mastectomy and adjuvant radiotherapy were performed, with mammography for follow-up, showing thickening in the contralateral breast, nodules measuring 1.0 and 1.9cm, and biopsy revealing undetermined invasive carcinoma, grade 3, without angiolymphatic invasion, requiring chemotherapy. rescue. She was advised on the severity, risks and follow-up of the condition. Findings in the literature demonstrate that invasive lobular carcinoma suggests a higher risk of distant recurrence after 10 years, especially for single sites, such as the ovaries. This case report describes a locally advanced breast CA, classified as Invasive Lobular Carcinoma, which evolved with contralateral recurrence after CT and radical mastectomy, highlighting the great importance of adequate follow-up.
