Rezumat: Breast cancer is the most common neoplasia in women, being defined by genetic heterogeneity and having a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations with different types of aggresivity in different patients. Therefore, it is a major challenge of both diagnosis and treatment. We report the case of a 42-year-old woman who was admitted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the University Emergency Hospital Bucharest for a palpable tumor located in the supero-lateral quadrant of the right breast. According to paraclinic examination, surgery was performed. After an extensive histopathological examination with immunohistochemistry analysis, she was diagnosed with intraductal papilloma with areas of atypical hyperplasia and in situ ductal carcinoma. The diagnosis of breast cancer was established rapidly in an early stage due to efficient collaboration between specialists in: Obstetrics-Gynecology, Histopathology, Oncology and Radiotherapy. In order to improve the prognostic, interdisciplinary management is essential in patients with breast tumors.
