Abstract

Breast carcinoma is a common condition worldwide but stromal sarcomas of breast are rarity in day to day surgical practice. Out of primary breast sarcomas, fibrosarcoma constitutes only 16% of cases. We report a primary fibrosarcoma of breast in a young female patient which presented as ulcerated growth and fixity to chest wall and multiple ipsilateral axillary lympadenopathy (Stage IIIb). After biopsy confirmation palliation mastectomy was done and patient was sent for chemoradiotherapy.
