ABSTRACT: We report the case of a mucinous colloid carcinoma of the breast. We managed a 63-year-old woman with a right retroareolar lesion, clinically classified as cT2 N0 M0 and radiologically suspicious. Histological analysis (biopsy) concluded it was a grade I mucinous colloid carcinoma of the breast according to the Scarff-Bloom-Richardson (SBR) grading system. Additional treatments included partial mastectomy, lymph node dissection, radiotherapy, and hormone therapy. Colloid carcinoma is rare, accounting for only 1% to 6% of all breast cancers. These tumors affect a specific population and have a better prognosis compared to other types of breast cancer. Through this case study and a review of the literature, we will discuss the main anatomical, clinical, and evolutionary characteristics of this rare form of breast cancer.
