Abstract

Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma is a rare entity and requires extensive immunohistochemical markers to differentiate it from other tumors of the breast. We present a 29-year-old female with a left breast lump for 2 months. Initial diagnosis of malignant spindle cell tumor was done on core biopsy following which total mastectomy was done. After extensive sampling, on histology, highly pleomorphic spindle cells palisading the area of geographic necrosis with very high atypical mitosis were seen. As there was diagnostic difficulty, immunohistochemical antibody panel was used and diagnosis of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma of the breast was made by exclusion. Core biopsy with immunostaining is possibly superior to FNA as an initial diagnostic modality for breast masses with atypical features.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 March 2017.
All research outputs
#17,811,101
of 22,880,691 outputs
Outputs from World Journal of Surgical Oncology
#870
of 2,046 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#258,737
of 356,439 outputs
Outputs of similar age from World Journal of Surgical Oncology
#9
of 21 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,880,691 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,046 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 356,439 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 21 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
