Periductal Stromal Sarcoma of the Breast: A Case Report
,
Abstract
Introduction: Periductal Stromal Sarcoma (PSS), especially spindle and epithelioid types, is a rare subtype of the malignant fibroepithelial tumor with benign ductal elements and a sarcomatous stroma composed of spindle cells. The therapeutic management of PSS is based on wide surgery with free margins, and adjuvant therapies are not required.
Case Presentation: This report describes a 37-year-old woman who presented to Shariati hospital with a right breast mass for review and a second opinion pathology report. The patient had undergone a radical mastectomy in another hospital three months previously. Histological and immunohistochemical examinations revealed PSS and all dissected lymph nodes were free of tumor. Based on the diagnosis, the patient received no adjuvant treatment (such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy). After nine months of close follow-up examinations, no recurrence was observed.
Conclusion: PSS is an extremely rare disease with low-grade sarcomatous behavior, which may evolve into a phyllodes tumor or an entity of breast cancer. Therefore, frequent follow-up examinations are required.
