PRIMARY LIPOSARCOMA OF THE BREAST

Abstract

Primary sarcomas of the breast are rare, malignant tumors arising from the mesenchymal tissue of the mammary gland. The peak incidence of breast liposarcoma occurs in adults between the fourth and the sixth decades. Our case is the third liposarcoma case of the breast in the literature observed in the third decade. We report a case of liposarcoma of the breast and discuss this rare malignant tumor and other types of sarcoma of the breast in the light of the previously published literature.
