Intracystic carcinoma of the breast develops in a papillary form within the breast cyst of single occurrence. This report describes our recent experience of two patients with intracystic carcinoma of the breast. The disease is rather rare in our country, so far totaling only 28 cases including those presented here. If a macroscopic cyst of the breast is recognized, the punction of the cyst is to be aggressively done aside from such supplementary diagnostic means such as mammography and echomammography. If the punction fluid is found bloody, the patient must be suspected of having this disease and the cytological examination be done for the purpose of defined diagnosis. Intracystic carcinoma of the breast may be characterized by a lower degree of malignancy, although the tumor is a comparatively larger one. The reason is that the tumor principally develops within the cyst to be rarely complicated by consequent infiltration into the cystic wall or metastasis of the lymph nodes. Hence the prognosis has been reported to be very good. Therefore, it will be recommendable to conduct modified radical mastectomy for the patient having no extra-cystic infiltration.
