Abstract

Metaplastic breast carcinomas represent a morphologically heterogeneous group of invasive breast cancers in which a variable portion of the glandular epithelial cells comprising the tumor have undergone transformation in an alternate cell type either a nonglandular epithelial cell type or a mesenchymal cell type. Metaplastic carcinomas are uncommon lesions, representing less than 5% of all invasive breast cancer. This is a case of 51 year old female with left breast swelling since 3 months. She underwent Modified Radical Mastectomy. The histopathological findings were in favour of diagnosis invasive metaplastic carcinoma of breast squamous cell variant well differentiated.
