Primary fibrosarcoma of the breast is a very rare tumor. However, amongst the Primary Breast Sarcoma (PBS), it is the most common subtype. We present a case of 28-year-old male with lump in right breast of 7 year duration. The unilateral multinodular mass showed well circumscribed but unencapsulated tumor composed of interlacing fascicles of spindle shaped cells with minimal atypia. Immunohistochemistry revealed positivity for vimentin in the tumor cells. Differential diagnoses and review of literature is discussed.

“…1 Stromal sarcoma of the breast was fi rst defi ned by Berg et al 2 as neoplasms that have a common basic stromal-like structure composed of elongated cells, but lack the epithelial component seen in phyllodes tumors. Because of the rarity of this disease, the therapeutic approach remains controversial.…”

Stromal sarcoma of the breast with lung metastases showing a clinical complete response to doxorubicin plus ifosfamide treatment: Report of a case

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A 29-year-old woman presented with a painful right breast tumor, measuring 15 cm in diameter, which had progressed rapidly over 3 months. Core needle biopsy of the tumor revealed a malignant mesenchymal tumor. A mastectomy was performed, and pathological examination of the tumor showed stromal sarcoma. Solitary pleural dissemination in the right lung was suspected, based on the computed tomography image taken before the operation. Two months after surgery, bilateral multiple lung nodules were demonstrated. Systemic chemotherapy with doxorubicin plus ifosfamide was performed, and 3 months later the lung metastases had disappeared. Moreover, there is still no sign of recurrence at 5 months after the initiation of the chemotherapy. Breast stromal sarcoma is very rare, accounting for less than 1% of mammary neoplasms, and the treatment strategy is not well established, especially regarding chemotherapy. This case demonstrates the effectiveness of chemotherapy with doxorubicin plus ifosfamide for lung metastases from breast stromal sarcoma.
