Primary osteosarcoma of the breast.
Osteosarcoma is a rare primary breast tumour. We report on a 55-year-old woman who presented with a left breast lump and a mammogram suggestive of carcinoma. At lumpectomy, a 3 cm mass was removed. Histology was consistent with primary osteosarcoma. There was satisfactory surgical clearance and no evidence of metastasis. She received four courses of adjuvant post-operative chemotherapy and remains free of disease at 14 months from diagnosis.
