Metaplastic carcinoma of the breast: A rare carcinoma with chondroid metaplasia.
Metaplastic breast carcinoma accounts for less than 1% of breast malignancies. Huvos et al. first introduced the term metaplastic carcinoma in 1974. It is usually seen together with poorly differentiated ductal carcinoma of the breast. Within its mesenchymal components, undifferentiated connective tissue cells, fibroblasts, osteoblasts and chondroblasts can be found. Metaplastic breast carcinom...
متن کاملMetaplastic Carcinoma with Extensive Chondroid Differentiation in the Breast (Chondroid Carcinoma)
Metaplastic breast carcinoma is very rare, and metaplastic carcinoma with chondroid differentiation is even rarer. Here, we report a case of metaplastic carcinoma with extensive chondroid differentiation mimicking chondrosarcoma that was challenging to diagnose. The tumor was characterized by an abundant chondromyxoid matrix. The definitive area of classic invasive ductal carcinoma was minimal....
متن کاملMetaplastic breast carcinoma with osseous differentiation: A rare case report
INTRODUCTION Metaplastic breast carcinoma (MBC) is a rare type of breast cancer. Osseous differentiation is a very rare subtype. Reporting this kind of case is important because its clinical course and line of management are poorly mentioned in the literatures. We present a very rare case of MBC with osseous differentiation. A 48-year-old female presented with painless hard mass of the left bre...
متن کاملMetaplastic Carcinoma with Chondroid Differentiation Arising in Microglandular Adenosis
Microglandular adenosis (MGA) of the breast is a rare, benign proliferative lesion but with a significant rate of associated carcinoma. Herein, we report an unusual case of metaplastic carcinoma with chondroid differentiation associated with typical MGA. Histologically, MGA showed a direct transition to metaplastic carcinoma without an intervening atypical MGA or ductal carcinoma in situ compon...
متن کاملMetaplastic Carcinoma of Breast
Metaplastic carcinoma of breast (MBC) is a rare type of invasive breast carcinoma. It poses diagnostic challenge due to its varied histology and diverse differentiation. 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...
