Overview

NCI Definition: A rare, low grade invasive adenocarcinoma of the breast characterized by the presence of cells that secrete milk-like material. Morphologically, it usually appears as a circumscribed lesion, composed of cystic spaces, tubular structures, and solid areas. [1]

Secretory breast carcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in NTRK3 and ETV6 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Secretory Breast Carcinoma

NTRK3-ETV6 Fusion, NTRK3 Fusion, ETV6-NTRK3 Fusion, and ETV6 Fusion are the most common alterations in secretory breast carcinoma [2].
