Dr. Akshay Agarwal, Utkarsh Mishra

Abstract :

 Metaplastic Breast Carcinoma is a unique and aggressive type of east cancer identified by the W.H.O. owing to its morphological features and heterogeneity. It consists of combinations of mesenchymal and carcinomatous components and shares similarities with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma and benign lesions, with a predilection towards presenting as a case of triple negative (ER, PR, Her2/Neu) east cancer with a large tumor mass. Treatment paradigms range from radical surgery to adjuvant chemotherapy, with poor prognosis also showcasing metastatic preferences to the lung and ain, thus lowering the overall efficacy of the treatment and management strategies. This extensive review of literature summarizes the incidences, clinical features, pathological and molecular diagnosis along with treatment modalities with a note on prognosis.
