Comedocarcinoma is one kind of breast cancer which is most commonly very early-stage [1][2] which demonstrates central necrosis.[3] It is a usually a type of ductal carcinoma in situ. Comedo carcinomas are usually non-infiltrating and intraductal tumors. However, there have been accounts of comedocarcinoma which has then diversified into other cell types and developed into infiltrating (invasive) ductal carcinoma.[4] Recurrence and survival rates differ for invasive breast cancer which has originated as comedocarcinoma compared with other types of cancer cells.[5]
The duct will have characteristic necrotic tissue with calcification that feels cord-like. Squeezing the duct will yield inspissated material that is cheese-like and similar in consistency to toothpaste.
Comedocarcinoma has also been described as a histopathological type of Sebaceous carcinoma
