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. Diagnosing this entity poses significant challenges, particularly in core biopsies due to limited sampling and overlap with benign spindle cell lesions such as nodular fasciitis and fibromatosis. We present an example of FLMC in an asymptomatic middle-aged woman.

Article Synopsis
  • A 73-year-old woman experienced bloody discharge and skin thickening in her right breast, prompting concerns for Paget disease.
  • A skin punch biopsy revealed high-grade infiltrating carcinoma with squamous features, ruling out other types like metaplastic carcinoma due to her medical history.
  • A lumpectomy confirmed invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the nipple, linked to Bowen disease, emphasizing the need for awareness of rare diagnoses in patients with prior breast cancer.

James Homer Wright Pathology Laboratories, Department of Pathology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.

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.
