Primary breast cancer of aberrant breast tissue is virtually never diagnosed preoperatively. Once the diagnosis of breast tissue has been established through the detection of hormone receptors, its origin as a metastatic lesion from classical breast cancer has to be ruled out. There are no specific therapeutic guidelines for these rare tumors; however, the interdisciplinary adjustment of treatment to the recommendations for orthotopic breast cancer seems reasonable and effective
