Abstract

Carcinosarcoma is a biphasic tumor comprised of both malignant epithelium and malignant stroma. Compared to other types of breast cancer, this subtype is clinically aggressive and has a poor prognosis. Luckily, it is extremely rare. Carcinosarcomas of the breast presents a challenge, both diagnostically and therapeutically, due to the lack of systemic guidelines in management. Here, we present a case of a 37- year-old woman affected by carcinosarcoma of the right breast. We discuss the clinical presentation, the histopathology findings, and the imaging characteristics of the tumor, the diagnostic approach, and the treatment plan, as well as a short literature review.
