Malignant cystosarcoma phyllodes can metastasize to the sacral bone. Fine needle aspiration cytology aided in diagnosing this rare metastatic presentation, prompting a review of diagnostic criteria.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Cytopathology

Background:

  • Cystosarcoma phyllodes is a rare breast tumor with malignant potential.
  • Metastatic spread of malignant cystosarcoma phyllodes is uncommon but can occur.

Observation:

  • A unique case of malignant cystosarcoma phyllodes presenting with metastasis to the sacral bone and surrounding area is detailed.
  • Diagnosis was established using fine needle aspiration cytology.

Findings:

  • Histologic review of initial sections aimed to correlate features with known criteria for predicting tumor behavior.
  • This case highlights the importance of considering distant metastasis in the differential diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Accurate cytological diagnosis is crucial for identifying rare metastatic patterns.
