| Summary: | Metaplastic breast carcinoma is a rare primary breast malignancy. A 45-year-old female patient presented with multicentric lumps in left
breast of 6 months duration and history of axillary lymphadenopathy of 2 months duration. Mammography revealed two high density
masses with ill defined margins. Fine needle aspiration cytology was positive for duct carcinoma cells. Histo pathologic examination,
reported as “Multicentric infiltrating duct carcinoma with squamous differentiation left breast”, grade 2. Immunohistochemistry revealed
