We report an unusual case of biphasic tumor of the breast with prominent CD34-positive spindle cells. A 53-year-old woman presented with a mass in her right breast. Following an incisional biopsy, a partial mastectomy was done. Histologically, the tumor was a biphasic variant of a malignant spindle cell tumor of the breast. The lack of a leaf-like structure, together with the apparent myoid features of the spindle-shaped tumor cells, made it difficult to distinguish from malignant phyllodes tumor and from myoepithelial carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry revealed the spindle-shaped tumor cells to be myofibroblastic, but not myoepithelial in nature, ultimately categorizing this tumor as a malignant phyllodes tumor with prominent myofibroblastic differentiation.
