Metaplastic carcinoma of the breast is a rare and heterogeneous group of malignancies that accounts for less than 1% of all breast cancers. The histogenesis remains unknown. Clinical and radiological appearances are not specific. The treatment is based on surgery associated to radiation therapy and chemotherapy. There is no place for hormone therapy. The prognosis is poor. The diagnosis is based onmorphological and immunochemical findings. We report five cases of metaplastic carcinoma of the breast originating from an anatomopapthology laboratory, with a literature review. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
