Mucinous carcinoma, also known as colloid carcinoma, is a rare type of invasive breast cancer, accounting for about 2% of invasive ductal carcinomas. They are typically found in older women, being present in only 1% of women less than 35 years of age. They usually present as a breast mass, with cancer cells surrounded by lakes of mucin. This type of breast cancer is treated the same way as invasive ductal carcinoma, but has a much better prognosis than the more common invasive cancers.
