title: Carcinoma of the breast with sarcomatous metaplasia.
abstract: Carcinoma of the breast with sarcomatous metaplasia (CSM) is a rare and interesting tumour with a poorer prognosis than the usual breast malignancies. The mammographic appearances of this lesion have only previously been described once in the literature. A case of CSM is presented with mammographic-pathological correlation and review of the literature.
