Comedocarcinoma is one kind of very early-stage breast cancer which demonstrates central necrosis. It is a type of ductal carcinoma in situ. Comedo carcinomas are non-infiltrating and intraductal tumors. The duct will have characteristic necrotic tissue with calcification that feels cord-like. Squeezing the duct will yield inspissated material that is cheesy-like and similar in consistency to toothpaste.
