ObjectiveTo investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis and treatment of invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) of the breast.MethodThe relevant literatures at home and abroad in recent years about the clinical features, pathological features and diagnosis and treatment of IMPC were reviewed.ResultsIMPC is in low incidence and mostly in mixture. Because the clinical manifestations of IMPC and invasive ductal carcinoma of breast are basically similar, only the typical pathological features in pathological examination can confirm the diagnosis as " inside-out growth pattern” and " morula-like clusters of cancer cells surrounded by clear stromal spaces”.ConclusionsIMPC is a special subtype of breast invasive carcinoma, which should be pay enough attention to it in clinic due to its unique microscopic morphology, high vessel invasiveness and high lymph node metastasis rate, high malignancy, poor prognosis and so on.
