Abstract
Metaplastic breast carcinoma (MBC) is a rare neoplasm containing a mixture of epithelial and mesenchymal elements. The biphasic pattern containing both elements is common and monophasic pattern with spindle cell component alone is very rare. Metaplastic carcinoma carries a prognosis dissimilar to that of ductal carcinoma which is worser. This is the case of a 50 year old patient with MBC presenting as breast abscess. A thorough literature search has revealed paucity of data regarding spindle cell variant of MBC presenting as breast abscess.
