[Stromal sarcoma of the breast following augmentation mammoplasty--a case report].
A case of a stromal sarcoma of the breast that developed after augmentation mammoplasty is presented. A 55-year-old woman, who had received mammoplasty twenty years earlier, was referred to our hospital due to a mass in her left breast. A diagnosis of myxoid sarcoma was determined by an incisional biopsy and a radical mastectomy was performed. A pathological specimen, however, revealed the mass to be a stromal sarcoma because of its metaplastic heterogeneous elements, such as bone, cartilage, and muscle. We also present previous cases, and discuss the matter of diagnosis and therapy.
