Abstract
- Ectopic breast cancer is rare and diagnosis is commonly delayed. We report the case of a 34-year-old Nigerian woman with a locally advanced invasive ductal carcinoma in the axillary breast. She underwent an axillary mastectomy and is due to receive adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The management of this patient is discussed in relation to existing medical literature on the subject.
