abstract：:A 73-year-old woman showed marked exophytic growth of a tumor (25 × 23 × 14 mm) of the nipple over a period of 2 months. Histologically, numerous tumor nodules with no apparent keratinization were observed in the exophytic lesion. The tumor cells also showed little invasion to the dermis and no metastasis to the axill...
