Invasive Papillary Breast Carcinoma

We present the case of a 55-year-old postmenopausal female who presented with complaints of a gradually increasing painless subareolar mass in the left breast of 4 months' duration. Left-sided modified radical mastectomy was performed and the specimen was histopathologically diagnosed as invasive papillary carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry confirmed this diagnosis. All 8 excised axillary lymph nodes were negative for malignant cells. Postoperative chemotherapy was given and for the past 6 months, the patient has maintained a regular follow-up on an outpatient basis. She does not have any evidence of either local or distant recurrence of tumour metastases

Metaplastic Carcinoma with Predominant Chondrosarcoma of the Right Breast

A 45-year-old female presented with complaint of a lump in the right breast for the last 6 months. Excisional biopsy had been performed outside our institution, which was suggestive of a pure mammary chondrosarcoma. Modified radical mastectomy of the right breast was performed and histopathology was suggestive of a pure mammary chondrosarcoma of the right breast. One axillary lymph node was positive for metastasis, the rest of the lymph nodes were free of metastasis. Immunohistochemistry was suggestive of a metaplastic carcinoma with a predominant chondrosarcoma in the right breast. Postoperative radiotherapy was given to the patient with a further plan of chemotherapy
