Mammograms show a round, dense mass with fine spiculated margins.
Wide local excision with tumor-free margins and a sentinel node biopsy was performed.

The sentinel node was negative for metastases.
The neoplastic cells were negative for desmin, CD34, CKAE1/AE3, CK34bE12, calponin and positive for AML and vimentin.
