Abstract:
Spindle cell carcinoma of the breast (SpCC) is a very rare variant of breast cancer characterized as large tumor size,high histological grade and high negative expression of hormone receptors and HER2/neu protein.It has a high tendency for local recurrence and distant metastasis,while the axillary lymph node metastasis is less common occured,which leads to poor outcomes.Given the relatively low incidence,our knowledge about SpCC is limited.The main unsolved obstacles are the early dection and diagnosis,and the improvement in treatments.Herein,this article reviewed the clinicopathologic characteristic,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of the spindle cell carcinoma of breast.
