Abstract

Description: We report the case of a 38-year-old woman who was initially diagnosed with stage II oestrogen receptor (ER) positive, progesterone receptor (PR) positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast, in 2013. Breast MRI at that time showed multifocal disease in the right breast. The patient underwent a right mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection, which revealed pT2 N1a breast cancer. Following this, she received four cycles of docetaxel and cyclophosphamide and adjuvant radiation. At that time, she had declined tamoxifen due to her history of lattice degeneration and concerns of retinal detachment. She was also offered letrozole with goserelin but declined due to their side effect profile and risk for retinal complications.
