| Popis: | Metaplastic carcinoma is an uncommon neoplasm of breast, accounting for about 1% of breast carcinomas [1]. It's presentation is similar to other type of breast cancers clinically as well as radiologically but it is associated with rapid growth. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) plays an important role in establishing the diagnosis of metaplastic carcinoma. There is no common consensus about optimal treatment modality for metaplastic carcinoma. Overall survival is less in metaplastic carcinoma as compared to invasive ductal carcinoma. Patient with rapid growth of breast mass should be evaluated keeping in mind the metaplastic or sarcomatoid neoplasm. |
