Metaplastic breast carcinoma, also (less specifically) metaplastic carcinoma, is rare form of invasive breast cancer.
General
- May be difficult to diagnose.
- Prognosis - poor.
- Top of the differential diagnosis for spindle cell lesions of the breast.[citation needed]
Microscopic
Features - one of the following:[1][2]
- Malignant mesenchymal elements - either:
- Spindle cells.
- Osseous, chondroid or rhabdoid differentiation.
- Squamous component.
- Non-skin squamous cell carcinoma of the breast = metaplastic breast carcinoma.
Notes:
- Calcifications are uncommon.
- Cytology may be very bland, i.e. it may look very benign.
- May have minimal mitotic activity.
DDx:
- Fibromatosis.
- Malignant phyllodes tumour.
- Primary mammary sarcoma.
- Mammary myofibroblastoma.
- Nodular fasciitis.
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.
- Malignant melanoma.

- Metaplastic carcinoma (breastpathology.info).[1]
- Metaplastic carcinoma - case 1 - several images (upmc.edu).
- Metaplastic carcinoma - case 2 - several images (upmc.edu).
Subclassification
- There are various way to subclassify this subtype of breast cancer. This a consequence of physician automomy.
- There is a series of articles on the topic by Wargotz & Norris that is quite old... yet it is mentioned in Sterberg:[3]
- Matrix-producing carcinoma:[4]
- Features: cartilaginous and/or osseous stromal matrix; no osteoclastic giant cells.
- Spindle cell carcinoma:[5]
- Features: (non-malignant) spindle cells.
- Prognosis: better prognosis than other metaplastic carcinomas.
- Carcinosarcoma:[6]
- Features: malignant mesenchymal element.
- Prognosis: survival worse when compared to other metaplastic carcinomas.
- Squamous cell carcinoma of ductal origin:[7]
- Features: purely squamous; metastases are squamous cell carcinoma.
- Metaplastic carcinoma with osteoclastic giant cells:[8]
- Features: osteoclastic giant cells.
- The WHO subclassifies as follows:[9]
- Epithelial - includes: squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma with spindle cell differentiation, adenosquamous carcinoma.
- Mixed epithelial and mesenchymal - includes: carcinosarcoma, carcinoma with metaplasia (chondroid, osseous).
IHC
- S100 -ve (r/o melanoma).
- AE1/AE3 +ve (epithelial elements only).
- CK7 +ve (epithelial elements only).
- p63 +ve (epithelial elements only).
- Vimentin +ve.
- Desmin -ve.
- EMA -ve. (???)
- Almost invariably TRIPLE NEGATIVE for ER, PR and HER2
