A case report is presented of a patient with a colloid carcinoma of the breast, stage T3 N0 M0, treated definitively with external and interstitial radiation. Three‐year follow‐up has shown no local recurrence, with complete regression and no development of regional or distant metastases. The prognostic significance of colloid carcinoma and the use of radiation in its treatment are discussed.
