Abstract

IntroductionMetaplastic breast carcinoma (MBC) is a rare type of breast cancer. Osseous differentiation is a very rare subtype. Reporting this kind of case is important because its clinical course and line of management are poorly mentioned in the literatures.

We present a very rare case of MBC with osseous differentiation. A 48-year-old female presented with painless hard mass of the left breast. Examination and investigations showed MBC with osseous differentiation.

She was managed by operation with adjuvant chemotherapy.ConclusionMBC with osseous differentiation is a very rare type of breast carcinoma presenting with hard mass and managed by mastectomy, axillary lymph node sampling and adjuvant chemotherapy.
