“…Sarcoma of the breast was first described by Chelius in 1828. It is an unusual condition accounting for less than 1% of all breast malignancies and less than 5% of all soft tissue sarcomas 1 . It can be divided into two categories: de novo development (primary) or secondary and primary sarcoma of the breast can be further subdivided into four categories namely, cystosarcoma phylloides, lymphoma, angiosarcoma and pure sarcoma.…”

“…The diagnosis is made based on clinical findings, imaging and biopsy. However, core needle biopsy is the procedure of choice as it facilitates the grading of the tumor and determines the histological sub type 1,2 . Fine-needle aspiration cytology has low accuracy in the diagnosis of this disease and should be avoided if a sarcoma is suspected.…”

Breast sarcomas are an extremely rare and heterogeneous group of malignancies derived fromnon-epithelial elements of the gland constituting less than 1% of total breast malignanciesand less than 5% of all soft tissue sarcomas. It can be divided into two categories: de novodevelopment (primary) or secondary. These tumors are important as they have a high rate ofrecurrence and poor prognosis. In addition it is important to differentiate these tumors frombreast carcinoma as the treatment differs in these two entities. We present a case of primarybreast sarcoma in a 46 year old nulliparous Chinese woman. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.19(3) 2020 p.579-581

“…PBS originates in mesenchymal tissue of the breast and it is characterized by a fast growth, a poor overall prognosis and a recurrence within 6 months to 2 years after the first resection [6]. The histological subtypes include malignant fibrous histiocytoma, angiosarcoma, fibrosacoma, liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, spindle cell sarcoma, osteosarcoma and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma [7,8].…”

Primary breast sarcoma (PBS) is a very rare disease with an annual incidence estimated to 45 cases per million. It rises from breast connective tissue and constitutes highly recurrent tumors with poor prognosis. The management of the primary breast sarcoma relies on the tumor size, histology, and requires a multidisciplinary approach. In sub-Saharan Africa PBS was very rarely reported. We are reporting here on two cases. The two cases observed in our settings were young women who presented with high-grade sarcoma showing an aggressive form, a very fast recurrence and worse prognosis within few months following the diagnosis.
