Breast Pathology and Cancer Diagnosis
Leiomyosarcoma of the breast; are you sure of the diagnosis?

Sarcoma of the breast is a rare condition. The biological differences from other primary breast tumours necessitate a corresponding
difference in approach to diagnostic and management strategies. The rarity of the condition has made clinicopathological study difficult.
We report a case of primary leiomyosarcoma in a 40-yr-old-female, with a 15×9 cm bosselated swelling, involving all four quadrants of
the left breast. Her clinical features, sonography and trucut biopsy were compatible with cystosarcoma phyllodes and she underwent a left
mastectomy for the same. Later, the histological and imunohistochemical studies established the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma Grade 2
(strongly positive for vimentin, SMA and focally positive for beta-catenin). Given the differential for such a presentation, we emphasize the
workup for a patient presenting with similar characteristics should be thorough. Following a simple excision with free margins, a histology
examination with the appropriate immunohistochemistry is indispensable for an accurate diagnosis.
