-
A rare aggressive subtype of invasive breast carcinoma characterised by rapid growth, relatively large tumour size and a tendency to metastasize to distant organs, particularly the lungs, with relatively less frequent involvement of the axillary lymph nodes. Histologically, the tumour shows high-grade cellularity and heterologous differentiation, including chondroid, osseous, pleomorphic/sarcomatoid, spindled, and squamous elements. Patients usually present with a fast-growing, large, well-circumscribed, mobile lump in the breast, which can become painful and involve the chest wall and the skin, leading to ulceration.
