Metaplastic breast carcinoma with fibromatosis-like pattern of growth is rare and recently described type of breast carcinoma. In a few studies it was demonstrated that these tumors have a high risk of local reccurence and that they may occasionally metastasize distantly but not to the axillary lymph nodes. We report a case of fibromatosis-like metaplastic carcinoma with unusual morphology that progressively changed in several reccurences and metastasized to axillary lymph nodes and also distantly.
