Metaplastic carcinoma breast a rare case report
Abstract
Metaplastic carcinoma of the breast is a
rare malignancy with two distinct cell lines
described as a breast carcinoma of ductal
type with a sarcoma like component. Metaplastic
carcinoma is an aggressive neoplasm.
This constitutes about less than 1
of all breast malignancies. A 49years old
female came with recurrent lump in left
breast for 20days for whom lumpectomy
was done 6months before. Modified radical
mastectomy was performed. The histopathological
examination of both specimens
revealed metaplastic carcinoma
breast. This case is presented for its rarity.
