Background: Human mammary epithelial cell (HMEC) cultures encounter a stress-associated barrier termed stasis, during which most cells adopt a senescence-like phenotype. From these cultures, rare variants emerge from the basal epithelial population, re-initiating growth. Variants exhibit pre-malignant properties, including an aberrant epigenetic program that enables continued proliferation and acquisition of genetic changes.

Fibromatosis-like metaplastic carcinoma (FLMC) is a rare subtype of metaplastic carcinoma of the breast.

We present an example of FLMC in an asymptomatic middle-aged woman.

Secretory carcinoma is a rare breast tumor driven by fusion. It has characteristic morphologic features and identification of these tumors is critical as these patients may benefit from TRK inhibitors. Morphologic shift upon treatment has not been reported in secretory carcinoma or other -driven tumors.
