Neuroendocrine cells are presentthroughout the body and hence neuroendocrine tumors(NETS) can arise from any anatomic region.

With a prevalence of 1-2 casesper 10,000 women, breast NETS make up only 0.1% of allbreast cancers and less than 1% of all NETS1. In otherhistopathological subtypes of breast carcinomas, invasiveductal carcinoma is the most common breast tumor reportedworldwide of which mucinous (colloid) variant is the rarehistological subtype, accounts for 1-7% of all invasivecarcinomas 2.
