Abstract

Sarcomas of the breast are relatively rare and account for 1% of all primary malignant tumors of the breast. Pure and primary chondrosarcoma of the male breast is an extremely rare tumor. It may arise either from the breast stroma itself or from underlying bone or cartilage. Differential diagnoses include cystosarcoma phyllodes and breast metaplastic carcinoma with chondroid differentiation.
