%X <strong>Introduction:</strong><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> Cystic breast cancer is a rare entity. Breast cysts are most often
benign. The clinical characteristics of malignancy are not specific. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Objective:</span></b> <span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">To report a series of malignant cystic
tumors of the breast and to describe</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> their different characteristics. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Materials
and Methods:</span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> This was an observational study carried out between January
2018 and October 2021 at the Dakar </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">university
surgical oncology unit. We studied the clinical appearance, im</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">ag</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">ing, </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">histopathology,
extent of disease and treatment. We did not include cases of</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> pure,
single, or multiple chronically progressive cysts. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Results:</span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> There were 8 </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">patients, 6 women and 2 men. The average age
was 44. All patients presented </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">with a palpable unilateral deforming skin
mass without inflammatory </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">character. One
patient presented with a bloody discharge. The cyst was</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> multilocular
with</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">out intracystic growth in 2 cases and
presented a growth signal in 6 cases.</span> <span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Imaging
was ACR 3 in 5 cases and ACR 4 in 3 cases. Histopathology found 6</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> in</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">va</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">sive
carcinomas including 2 papillary, 3 Invasive Carcinoma of No Special</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> Type (ICNST), 1 lobular carcinoma as well as one case of lobular carcinoma </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">in situ</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> of the comedocarcinoma type in
women and 2 ICNST in men. The extension </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">workup
was found in only 1 male patient in the presence of metastases.</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> Treatment
