Metaplastic squamous cell carcinoma of the breast is a very rare form of breast cancer that consists of both glandular and nonglandular components mixed with epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. Worldwide, the incidence of this tumor is between 0.1 and 2%. Because of the rarity of this tumor and heterogeneous behavior of the tumor cells, it is difficult to establish the standard therapeutic approach. We report 2 cases of metaplastic squamous cell carcinoma of the breast in young patients with different responses to treatment strategies. The first case is a premenopausal female with metaplastic squamous cell carcinoma treated with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, and the second case is perimenopausal metaplastic squamous cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid subtype and osteoid matrix production which progressed on chemotherapy and was treated with surgery and radiation. 1.

In one of the study aberrations on 2 Case Reports in Oncological Medicine PIK3CA/PIK3R1 and Ras-Map kinase pathway in 61% and 25%, respectively, in addition to increased frequency of TP53 (64%) and TERT promoter (25%), mutations in com- parison to triple negative carcinomas have been reported. In the other study, metaplastic breast cancer was found to harbor complex mutations leading to activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway (57% vs. 22%) and canonical Wnt pathway (51% vs. 28%) as opposed to triple negative breast cancer. Other additional mutations like ARID1A (11%), FAT1 (11%), PTEN (11%), PIK3CA (29%), and PIK3R1 (11%) are expressed in comparison to TN breast cancer. Interestingly, it was found that PIK3CA mutations were absent in MBCs with chondroid metaplasia [10]. Though they have very poor prognosis, the determinant of the prognosis is not clear. 2.

Her past medical history includes hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and seizure. She smoked half a pack of cigarette for the past 16 years. The family history was noncontributory. Ultrasound (Figure 1) and mammogram (Figure 2) of the left breast reported a 2.5 cm lobulated hypoechoic lesion with well-demarcated borders and poste- rior acoustic enhancement suggestive of a complicated cyst. The bilateral breast MRI (Figure 3) that was done 3 weeks later revealed a left retroareolar 3 8×3 7× 3 5cm mass com- plex, heterogeneous with rim enhancement. No other mass or lymphadenopathy was seen. An ultrasound-guided biopsy revealed triple negative, moderately differentiated invasive left breast ductal carcinoma. The right breast was unremark- able. She underwent modified radical mastectomy and lymph node dissection with tissue expander placement 6 weeks after her first ultrasound. The final pathology revealed a 5.5 cm primary invasive metaplastic ductal carcinoma (Figure 4). The histologic grade was 3 with squamous differentiation and was triple negative (Figure 5). Immunohistochemistry was positive for E-cadherin and focally positive for GATA which indicated ductal origin. p63 and cytokeratin 5/6 were Figure 2: Mammogram of the left breast. positive in favor of metaplastic squamous cell differentiation. Proliferative index Ki-67 was >40%. All of the six nodes were negative for a tumor. The rapid growth of the tumor from the time of the diagnosis to the time of surgery explains the aggressive nature of this group of the invasive disease. The final stage was IIB (T3N0MX) metaplastic breast cancer. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy with dose-dense AC-T (Adriamycin and cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel). After completion of chemotherapy, the patient underwent whole breast radiotherapy. Eight months post treatment, the patient is in remission and has no signs of recurrence. 3.

There were no skin or nipple changes. A mass of 2 ×2cm and 5 cm from the nipple at 5:00 PM was appreciated with no evidence of axillary lymphadenopathy. She promptly underwent a sonogram (Figures 6 and 7) and mammogram that revealed a heterogeneous breast, and corresponding to the palpable abnormality was a large complex cystic mass measuring 2 7×2 4× 2 6cm with a thick wall with enhanced through transmission and some internal vascularity. She underwent lumpectomy. The gross specimen was described as a 5 5×5×5cm mass with a centrally located cystic hemor- rhagic tumor which measured 3.3 cm in the greatest dimen- sion and negative margin. It was reported as high-grade Figure 7: Left breast mammogram. metaplastic carcinoma (3.3 cm), with sarcomatoid subtype and osteoid matrix production, and high-grade DCIS.

The area of squamous cell carcinoma was positive for p63 and p40. The sarcomatoid area was neg- ative for cytokeratin (CK AE1/3). On her follow-up clinic visit at 4 weeks post lumpec- tomy, the mass was felt on the surgical site on the physical exam. MRI bilateral breasts showed an enhancing mass of maximal dimension of 1.7 cm and subtle asymmetric left axillary tail lymph node 1 4×0 9cm (Figure 8).

Metaplastic squamous cell carcinoma of the breast is a very rare form of breast cancer that consists of both glandular and nonglandular components mixed with epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. Worldwide, the incidence of this tumor is between 0.1 and 2%. Because of the rarity of this tumor and heterogeneous behavior of the tumor cells, it is difficult to establish the standard therapeutic approach. We report 2 cases of metaplastic squamous cell carcinoma of the breast in young patients with different responses to treatment strategies. The first case is a premenopausal female with metaplastic squamous cell carcinoma treated with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, and the second case is perimenopausal metaplastic squamous cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid subtype and osteoid matrix production which progressed on chemotherapy and was treated with surgery and radiation. 1.

In the other study, metaplastic breast cancer was found to harbor complex mutations leading to activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway (57% vs. 22%) and canonical Wnt pathway (51% vs. 28%) as opposed to triple negative breast cancer. Other additional mutations like ARID1A (11%), FAT1 (11%), PTEN (11%), PIK3CA (29%), and PIK3R1 (11%) are expressed in comparison to TN breast cancer. Interestingly, it was found that PIK3CA mutations were absent in MBCs with chondroid metaplasia [10]. Though they have very poor prognosis, the determinant of the prognosis is not clear. 2.

Her past medical history includes hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and seizure. She smoked half a pack of cigarette for the past 16 years. The family history was noncontributory. Ultrasound (Figure 1) and mammogram (Figure 2) of the left breast reported a 2.5 cm lobulated hypoechoic lesion with well-demarcated borders and poste- rior acoustic enhancement suggestive of a complicated cyst. The bilateral breast MRI (Figure 3) that was done 3 weeks later revealed a left retroareolar 3 8×3 7× 3 5cm mass com- plex, heterogeneous with rim enhancement. No other mass or lymphadenopathy was seen. An ultrasound-guided biopsy revealed triple negative, moderately differentiated invasive left breast ductal carcinoma. The right breast was unremark- able. She underwent modified radical mastectomy and lymph node dissection with tissue expander placement 6 weeks after her first ultrasound. The final pathology revealed a 5.5 cm primary invasive metaplastic ductal carcinoma (Figure 4). The histologic grade was 3 with squamous differentiation and was triple negative (Figure 5). Immunohistochemistry was positive for E-cadherin and focally positive for GATA which indicated ductal origin. p63 and cytokeratin 5/6 were Figure 2: Mammogram of the left breast. positive in favor of metaplastic squamous cell differentiation. Proliferative index Ki-67 was >40%. All of the six nodes were negative for a tumor. The rapid growth of the tumor from the time of the diagnosis to the time of surgery explains the aggressive nature of this group of the invasive disease. The final stage was IIB (T3N0MX) metaplastic breast cancer. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy with dose-dense AC-T (Adriamycin and cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel). After completion of chemotherapy, the patient underwent whole breast radiotherapy. Eight months post treatment, the patient is in remission and has no signs of recurrence. 3.

There were no skin or nipple changes. A mass of 2 ×2cm and 5 cm from the nipple at 5:00 PM was appreciated with no evidence of axillary lymphadenopathy. She promptly underwent a sonogram (Figures 6 and 7) and mammogram that revealed a heterogeneous breast, and corresponding to the palpable abnormality was a large complex cystic mass measuring 2 7×2 4× 2 6cm with a thick wall with enhanced through transmission and some internal vascularity. She underwent lumpectomy. The gross specimen was described as a 5 5×5×5cm mass with a centrally located cystic hemor- rhagic tumor which measured 3.3 cm in the greatest dimen- sion and negative margin. It was reported as high-grade Figure 7: Left breast mammogram. metaplastic carcinoma (3.3 cm), with sarcomatoid subtype and osteoid matrix production, and high-grade DCIS.

The area of squamous cell carcinoma was positive for p63 and p40. The sarcomatoid area was neg- ative for cytokeratin (CK AE1/3). On her follow-up clinic visit at 4 weeks post lumpec- tomy, the mass was felt on the surgical site on the physical exam. MRI bilateral breasts showed an enhancing mass of maximal dimension of 1.7 cm and subtle asymmetric left axillary tail lymph node 1 4×0 9cm (Figure 8). Staging CT chest/abdomen/pelvis was negative except for the left breast mass. The patient underwent mastectomy and axil- lary lymph node dissection.

Discussion It is a well-established fact that metaplastic breast cancer is one of the rare entities.
