Imaging features of primary breast sarcoma: a case report

Primary breast sarcomas (PBS) are a rare group of non-epithelial tumors arising from connective tissue of breast. This is a case of 55 year old female who presented with rapidly increasing left breast mass, mammogram showed a large high density mass occupying whole of left breast, Doppler ultrasound showed increased vascularity mass, diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology of ultrasound guided biopsy.
