Abstract

Breast carcinosarcoma is a rare tumor of the breast consisting of 0.08 to 0.2% of all cases of breast cancer [1]. The incidence of this type of tumor is very low and in this case the patient presented with the malignancy in her 3rd trimester of pregnancy. Due to her presentation while pregnant the case becomes even more rare.
