摘要: This report highlights the necessity of genetic testing, at least for BRCA1 mutations, young females diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, even in absence or limited family history. A 34-year-old female a locally advanced, tumour, which perforated skin, is described. At time diagnosis, patient had already multiple lung metastases and although chemotherapy was started immediately, she died rapid systemic disease progression. The found to carry p.E1060X mutation, located on exon 11 gene. high penetrance gene not represented patient's family, since mutation paternally inherited. It evident that belonging small families, along paternal inheritance pathogenic BRCA mutations predispose most cases will probably be genetically tested only after being cancer.
