Background: Primary breast sarcoma (PBS) is an extremely rare breast malignancy, constituting less than 1% of total breast malignancies. There is no definitive consensus regarding PBS treatment and current recommendations derived from retrospective case reviews and extrapolated from non breast soft tissue sarcoma studies. Complete surgical resection with negative margin (R0) is recommended for curative intent. However there is debate between breast conservation surgery and mastectomy. Role of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in metastatic PBS is unclear. Primary objective of this study is to determine clinico-pathological characteristics of primary breast sarcoma and to identify patient, pathological and treatment characteristics that predict survival outcome. Case history: A 35yr woman presented with complain of palpable lump in her right breast. FNAC from the mass suggested malignancy. Metastatic work up showed no evidence of metastasis.

This was followed by EBRT to the chest wall.Now she is asymptomatic and on regular follow up since last 5 years. Conclusion: optimal treatment methodology in PBS needs to established
