摘要
Pleomorphic ductal invasive carcinoma is a very rare, high-grade breast cancer with unfavourable prognosis. It contains highly pleomorphic giant cells, which represent more than 50% of the cancer cells. One such case is described herein, focusing on its morphological, histopathological and immunohistochemical patterns. It was multicentric, oestrogen and progesterone receptor negative and epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 positive.
