Abstract

Occult breast cancer is defined as one that presents with metastasis in the axillary lymph nodes without clinical evidence in a supernumerary or accessory breast. Objective: The present study aims to analyze and describe occult breast cancer, as well as its clinical manifestation, diagnosis and treatment. Results: The analysis of local and adjacent lymph nodes to the breast, by means of ultrasound associated with biopsy, proved to be favorable for the accurate diagnosis of this pathology. Conclusion: Having been correctly evaluated and identified, this carcinoma has a good response to radical mastectomy, associated with complementary exams and chemotherapy
