Abstract
Malignant mesenchymal tumors of the breast other than angiosarcoma are
extremely rare and comprise <0.5% of breast tumors. Primary chondrosarcoma
of the breast is an extremely rare entity and only 10 cases are reported as
single case reports in literature until date. A diagnosis of primary mammary
sarcoma can be established only after excluding metaplastic carcinomas and
malignant phyllodes by extensive sampling for evidence of in situ or invasive
carcinoma. Here, we report a primary chondrosarcoma of breast in a 55-yearold
lady diagnosed precisely on fi ne-needle aspiration cytology and confi rmed
by histopatholigcal examination after total mastectomy. We emphasize on
diagnostic diffi culties encountered in cytology smears and discuss differential
diagnoses.
