abstract={Medullary Breast carcinoma (MBC) is an infrequent type of breast cancer and is in the differential diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) with medullary features. We reported a 35-year-old lady with left breast since 6 months ago. CEA tumor marker serum level and CA15-3 were within normal limits. The patient underwent the incomplete left mastectomy. Gross specimen revealed gray-yellow hemorrhagic tumor lesion with pushing border. Histopathology demonstrated highly atypical cells with lymphocytic infiltration and mainly pushing border but with infiltrative margin in few areas.  The permanent diagnosis was ˇ°invasive ductal carcinoma with medullary featuresˇ°. We conclude that careful histopathological evaluation and considering strict criteria is necessary for definitive diagnosis and subsequent proper treatment.},
