OBJECTIVE Typical medullary carcinoma of the breast is a rare histological form of breast carcinoma. It represents less than 5% of all breast cancer. It is known for its favourable prognosis. Considering the rarity of the series we could retrieve, we aimed at underlining the particularities of this pathology. METHODS Retrospective study about 33 cases of typical medullary carcinoma managed at the Salah-Azaïz Institute during a period of six years between 1994 and 1999. RESULTS The mean age was 47.5 years. The left breast was concerned in about 55% of cases. Mean tumoral size was 46mm. Sixty-one percent of our patients were treated by radical surgery. Seventy-three percent undergo radiotherapy, 57% chemotherapy and 42% hormonotherapy. The five-year free-disease survival was about 85%. CONCLUSIONS Typical medullary carcinoma of the breast is a rare histological form of breast carcinoma. Its treatment is similar to the other breast cancers. Our results agree with the different published studies and confirm its favourable prognosis.
