Background:
- Special type breast cancers lack clear clinical and therapeutic management recommendations.
- Information is primarily derived from case reports and studies.
Observation:
- Metaplastic breast cancer (MBC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy, comprising approximately 1% of all breast cancers.
- This report details the management of five patients diagnosed with MBC between 2016 and 2020.
Findings:
- The study presents institutional experience in diagnosing and treating metaplastic breast cancer.
- Case studies provide valuable insights into the clinical course and management of this rare breast cancer subtype.
Implications:
- Findings contribute to the limited body of knowledge on metaplastic breast cancer.
- Further research is needed to establish evidence-based guidelines for managing special type breast cancers like MBC.
