Abstract
Metaplastic breast carcinomas areheterogenous group of neoplasms with predominant component other than epithelial or glandular. It is due to transformation of epithelial component into non glandular component such as spindle cells, squamous cells or heterologous elements. It is a rare subtype of invasive breast carcinoma that has a clinically aggressive behavior and poor response to standard chemotherapy which results in over all worst prognosis. Here we are reporting 6 cases of metaplastic breast carcinoma presented at our hospital during the year 2018-19.
