MONTERO GONZALEZ, Teresita et al. Osteosarcoma en fibroadenoma de la mama femenina. Rev Cub Med Mil [online]. 2001, vol.30, n.1, pp.15-20. ISSN 0138-6557.

The conduct followed by a female patient who detects herself a breast nodule during the self-examination and attends the multidisciplinary team’s office of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is described. Based on the diagnostic suspicion, an imaging study is carried out and an adequate conduct is recommended. The diagnosis is made by immunohistochemistry of a breast osteosarcoma originated from the stroma with hyaline degeneration of a breast fibroadenoma. The literature on this topic is reviewed and comments are made on the usefulness of the multidisciplinary team’s office of FNAB.
