Low Grade Adenosqumous Carcinoma of Breast- Case Report

Abstract

Low grade adenosquamous breast carcinoma (LGASBC) is rare variant of metaplastic breast cancer (MBC) with both-glandular as well as squamous differentiation. Histo-pathological characteristics (HPC) are overlapping with other benign lesions (like syringomatous adenoma) and other variants of MBC that pose a diagnostic challenge. Most forms of MBC have poor prognosis except low grade adenosquamous breast carcinoma (LGABC) which has favourable prognosis. We report one case of LGABC in a 85 years old elderly female who presented with suspicious malignant mass in the right breast. On histopatholgy and immunohistochemistry, a favoured diagnosis of LGABC was given. LGABC needs excision of the lesion but has good prognosis
