ABSTRACT
We report a rare case of spindle cell carcinoma of the breast which grew rapidly during neoadjuvant chemotherapy. A 72- year-old female was presenting with chief complaint of a mass in the right breast; a tumor about 20 mm in size. Core needle biopsy of tumor revealed invasive ductal carcinoma and fine needle aspiration cytology of axillary lymph node was Class â
¤. So she was diagnosis breast cancer as cT2N1M0, cStage â
¡B. The tumor subtype was triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). She received the neoadjuvant chemotherapy by FEC100. After FEC 4 courses, we detected a huge and rapid growing breast mass of 40 mm by CT. She was administered received mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection after 4 months from initial contact. Pathological finding was spindle cell carcinoma of the breast. Postoperatively, she was treated with weekly PTX for a total of 12 courses and radiation therapy for a right chest wall and supraclavicular fossa. Although the tumor was resistant for neoadjuvant chemotherapy, she is alive and well without metastasis for more than 3 years.
