Cytologic diagnosis of undifferentiated high grade pleomorphic sarcoma of breast presenting with brain metastasis.

Indranil Chakrabarti1, Nilanjana Ghosh, Amita Giri.   

Abstract

Primary sarcoma of breast are rare. Diagnosis by aspiration cytology is difficult due to nonspecific cytomorphologic features. An initial presentation with neurological symptoms due to metastasis of breast sarcoma to the brain has not been previously reported. Here, we describe a case of a 60-year-old female who presented with headache, dizziness and convulsion and was subsequently diagnosed with undifferentiated high grade pleomorphic sarcoma of breast with cerebellar metastasis.
