Abstract :

 Metaplastic Breast Carcinoma is a rare and histologically diverse subtype of east carcinoma. This category of malignancy encompasses tumors in which adenocarcinoma is found to co–exist with an admixture of spindle cell, squamous cell, chondroid or bone forming neoplastic cells. A 35 years old female presenting with complaints of reddish scaly area over her left east since 3 months and mass since 1 month. On physical examination an irregular patch of rough skin, reddish orange in color and a hard mass over the lower outer quadrant of left east was observed. For this mastectomy was done. The resected specimen of east showed friable tumor mass. On histological examination adenocarcinoma with numerous osteoclastic giant cells were seen, suggestive of metaplastic carcinoma of east.
