Invasion of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) in breast tissue; a case report study
Abstract
Introduction and importance Breast sarcomas are scarce, histologically heterogeneous with nonepithelial malignancies that originate from the connective tissue within the parenchyma of breast. They can develop primarily, after radio-therapy (RT), or secondary due to chronic condition, including metastatic cancers. Case presentation The present case report concerns 58-year-old women which was unbeknown to her malignancy in the early stages, until the mass became substantial in size. Chemotherapy and also radiotherapy were not effective, and the growth of tumor could not be prevented which the patient eventually died, due to respiratory complications. Clinical discussion Breast sarcomas are categorized in very rare malignancies, and the mortality of these types of cancers are significantly high as they often are not diagnosed in early stages. Based on the location and condition of the malignant tumor, therapeutic methods considered as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery. Conclusion In advance stages of breast sarcoma, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and even surgery cannot be effectual. Therefore, periodical evaluation of breast wellness by diagnostic methods are recommended to all adult women.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
