Primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast [NEC] is a rare variant of breast carcinomas which most of the times is under diagnosed and treated. Only 30 cases have been reported in the literature including male breast. Age incidence varies from 40-70 years. Here we present a rare case of primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of right breast with right axillary lymph node metastases in a 60 years female. Clinical and radiological parameters were analyzed to rule out metastatic deposit from other primary sites or involvement and distant metastasis to other organs ruling out possibility of invasiveness. Special stains and immunohistochemistry helped us to confirm the diagnosis the diagnosis of this rare variant of breast carcinoma.
