Abstract :

Pure mucinous breast carcinoma is a rare subtype of invasive breast cancer characterized by the production of extracellular mucin. It typically demonstrates a distinctive histological appearance, higher hormone receptor positivity, and favorable clinical outcomes, with a good response to endocrine therapy. This case highlights the importance of recognizing pure mucinous carcinoma as a distinct pathological entity for optimal management and prognosis.
