Metaplastic squamous cell breast cancer is an extremely rare subtype, accounting for less than 1% of all invasive breast cancers. As a result, there is sparse data in literature relating to its presentation and management. We report the first known case of metaplastic squamous cell breast cancer which was detected on screening mammogram and followed up as the patient delayed her treatment. This case highlights the aggressive natural behaviour of this subtype and importance of early treatment. The surgical management of this rare entity was reviewed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
