    Abstract

    Matrix-producing carcinoma is a variant of metaplastic carcinoma of the breast that consists of overt carcinoma with direct transition to a cartilagenous and osseous stromal matrix. A clinicopathological association between MPC and high-grade invasive ductal carcinoma with a large central acellular zone has been recently discussed. However, few reports have ever shown the radiological, pathological and immunohistochemical correlation of this unique tumor. We present a case of 27-year-old woman with matrix-producing carcinoma with a large central acellular zone, which was characterized by a large homogeneous hypodense center with well-marginated, ring-like enhancement on contrast enhanced computerized tomography.
