This 66-year-old female had had a mass of increasing size in the left breast for many years. A modified radical mastectomy was performed. At that time, invading carcinoma was left around the subclavian artery and 9 of 9 axillary lymph nodes were found to contain metastases. Later, pleural effusions recurred despite radiation therapy. The patient died 3 months after surgery.
== Autopsy Findings == The At autopsy the left breast was large (1700 grams), measuring 34 x 22 x 7 cm. A very large tumor involving all quadrants and measuring about 14 cm in diameter was noted. The nipple and skin were involved, the latter showing the typical orange peel appearance. On section, virtually the entire breast was replaced by a tumor composed of firm, yellowish-white tissue. Extension into the fatty tissue and to the skin was evident grossly.

The tumor infiltrates in an irregular fashion into the breast parenchyma. Note the nipple retraction caused by this neoplasm.
