“…Forty-one per cent of patients with POSB develop metastases which highlight the need for effective adjuvant therapy [6]. The role of chemotherapy in the management of patients with POSB is uncertain with limited reports in the literature with differing regimens and outcomes [22][23][24][25][26]. However, because of the dramatic improvement in survival from chemotherapy administration for patients with primary osteosarcoma of the bone, it is reasonable to consider its use for a patient with POSB until better evidence is available to guide management [22].…”

Primary osteogenic sarcoma of the breast is a rare clinical entity with few cases described in the literature. Unfortunately, the prognosis for these patients is poor when compared to invasive carcinomas of the breast. We report a case of a 58-year-old female who developed a primary osteogenic sarcoma of the breast five years after being treated for invasive carcinoma of the ipsilateral breast without the use of radiotherapy.

Introduction Primary extraosseous osteogenic sarcoma is one of the rarest forms of malignant tumor of the breast. It can arise as a result of osseous metaplasia of a preexisting neoplasm or from a none-phyllodes sarcoma of a previously normal breast. Due to its rarity, the natural history and optimal treatment methods remain unclear. Case presentation A 60 years old patient presented to the surgical casualty with a large breast abscess. Abscess wall histology revealed an osteosarcoma of the breast. Left total mastectomy with axillary clearance was performed. Histology and subsequent immunohistochemical studies confirmed the diagnosis of osteogenic sarcoma without lymph nodal metastasis. Patient was referred to the oncologist for further management. Conclusion Rare types of breast tumors can be presented as breast abscess. Incision and drainage together with wall biopsy aid to exclude associated sinister pathologies. Diagnosis of primary osteosarcoma of the breast was made using histological and immunohistochemical findings once the possible primary from the bones of sternum and ribs was excluded. Treatment is as for sarcomas affecting other locations and should comprise a multidisciplinary approach.
