Metaplastic carcinoma of the breast is an uncommon type of malignancy that is aggressive but can mimic other benign breast neoplastic processes on imaging. We present a case of a young female patient who presented with a rapidly progressing metaplastic carcinoma with osteoclastic giant cells subtype. There have been only very rare published reports of this pathologic subtype of metaplastic carc...

These are heterogenous group of tumors in which part or whole of the carcinomatous component is transformed into a metaplastic mesenchymal component and runs an aggressive clinical course. We present two cases of metaplastic ca...
