Introduction. Metaplastic breast carcinoma is expressing epithelial and/or mesenchymal tissue within the same tumor.
Aim. The aim of this study is to evaluate metaplastic breast carcinoma in a case report and literature review.
Description of the case. The presented case desribes metaplastic carcinoma of the breast in 65 years old female patient.
Conclusion. Fibromatosis-cell metaplastic carcinoma of the breast presents a particularly large diagnostic challenge. Malignant variants of this disease have been described in the literature.
