Primary Giant Cell Tumor of the Breast: Report of a Rare Case and Review of the Literature.

Abstract

Primary giant cell tumors (GCTs) of soft tissue of the breast are extremely rare breast tumors, with only ten cases previously reported in the English literature. They are not suspected clinically, and clinically and histopathologically too, can mimic breast carcinoma or phyllodes tumor, and cause diagnostic dilemma. It is important to correctly recognize these tumors, due to management implications. Hereby, we present a case of 58 year old female with GCT of the breast presenting as a malignant breast tumor.
