Breast Dis. 2011;33(4):189-91. doi: 10.3233/BD-2009-0303.

Abstract

Sarcomas of the breast are rare, comprising 1% of all breast tumors. Primary chondrosarcomas of the breast account for an extremely rare subset of such tumors, with few reports in the literature. We report the case of a 52 year-old woman with a primary chondrosarcoma of the breast and review the current literature.
