title: Biphasic sarcomatoid carcinoma or carcinosarcoma of the breast: prognosis and therapy.
abstract: Biphasic sarcomatoid carcinoma of the breast represents only 0.2% of all breast cancer. Due to its rarity and repetitive reclassifications little is known about optimal treatment modalities. These tumours form a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The present report describes our experience with a case of biphasic sarcomatoid carcinoma of the breast and a review of the relevant literature is discussed.
