【 摘 要 】

Well-differentiated adenocarcinoma, a rare subtype of infiltrating ductal carcinoma, is a kind of mucinous cancer of the breast. It accounts for around 2% of all invasive breast cancers. The average age of presentation is 65-70 years, whereas women under the age of 35 account for 1% of cases. They are classified as pure or mixed carcinomas depending on the amount of mucin they include; knowing the difference is crucial for prognosis and therapy. Despite the lack of sufficient proof, the primary therapy for breast cancer is still surgery. Special forms of breast cancer are still being treated, although this is still a contentious topic. In this article, we intended to present a case of a mixed mucinous carcinoma in a 52-year-old female who was assessed by advanced magnetic resonance imaging.
