Abstract
Myofibroblastic sarcoma of the breast are rare, leading to very few reports on its prognosis or metastasis to other organs. We report a case of lung metastasis from mammary low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma. A 55-year-old woman with no remarkable disease history visited a local clinic with a palpable mass in her left breast, persistent for 3 weeks. On vacuum-assisted excisional biopsy, the mass was diagnosed as a malignant phyllodes tumor. Thereafter, wide excision ensured a clear surgical margin, confirming myofibroblastic sarcoma. No additional treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy, were administered. Four years later, lung metastasis was detected on chest computed tomography. The patient underwent a wedge resection of the lung. Metastasis to the cervical lymph nodes was discovered 3 years later. Owing to tumor emboli, the patient died of brain infarction. No consensus guidelines for standard treatment exist owing to the disease scarcity. Surgical resection is the most reasonable treatment, however, additional therapies should be considered to prevent metastasis to other organs
