摘要
Metaplastic carcinoma of the breast represents a rare entity characterized by the simultaneous presence of ductal, squamous. and/or mesenchymal components in several proportions. There: are limitations in,line-needle aspiration diagnosis clue to its pathological heterogeneity. When it develops under pregnancy and lactation influence, the cytologic evaluation appears to be more difficult curd accurate diagnosis often proves challenging. We describe a case elf mixed metaplastic carcinoma with dominant areas of squamous metaplasia, sarcomatoid stroma with spindle cells, and a minor component of cartilaginous metaplasia. We notify our experience in diagnostic approach of this entity focusing on differential diagnosis. Diagn. Cytopathol. 2009;37:769-772. (C) 2009 Wiley-Liss. Inc.
