Abstract
Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) of the breast is a clinically aggressive rare form of breast cancer. Patients with IMPC present with higher clinical stages, higher histological degrees, higher rate of lymph-vascular invasion and axillary lymph node extracapsular extension. In this case report, we seek to explore and share our experience of invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast and give a literature review of the standard of care.
