Abstract

A case of reticulum cell sarcoma of the breast with early dissemination and death despite combined therapy is reported. A literature review of 60 cases previously documented is presented. The age of occurrence is most frequent in the sixth decade. Rapid growth is the only characteristic physical finding of the lesion. The histologic pattern is predominated by a polymorphic reticular architecture. Long survival is reported following complete excision.
