Abstract

Metaplastic carcinoma of breast is a rare form of tumour in which there is a mixture of malignant mesenchymal and epithelial elements. In these tumours cancerous cells of epithelial origin are found in combination with non-specific malignant spindle cells of mesenchymal origin. It is an aggressive form of cancer and usually appears in late stages.
