A case of breast carcinoma with sarcomatous metaplasia.
We report the distinct mammographic appearance of a breast carcinoma in a woman of 58 years, which proved on histology to be adenocarcinoma with metaplasia to osteosarcoma. The unusual appearance may alert radiologists, surgeons and pathologists to the possibility of an uncommon tumour.
