Metaplastic breast cancer (MpBC) is a rare form of breast malignancy with a poor prognosis and limited treatment guidance. Here, we report on a case of triple-negative MpBC that was successfully treated following the Keynote-522 clinical algorithm using pembrolizumab, paclitaxel, carboplatin, adriamycin, and cyclophosphamide in a neo-adjuvant fashion. The radiographic and histologic findings of the tumor are reviewed here along with the treatment regimen and response. No major toxicities associated with pembrolizumab were observed in this case. This case report serves as an example of complete pathological response of triple-negative MpBC with pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy and demonstrates the need for further research on chemoimmunotherapy for MpBC.
化生性乳腺癌(MpBC)是一种罕见的乳腺恶性肿瘤,预后较差且治疗指导有限。在此,我们报告一例三阴性MpBC病例,该病例采用帕博利珠单抗、紫杉醇、卡铂、阿霉素和环磷酰胺进行新辅助治疗,成功遵循了Keynote-522临床方案。本文回顾了肿瘤的影像学和组织学检查结果以及治疗方案和反应。该病例未观察到与帕博利珠单抗相关的重大毒性反应。本病例报告作为三阴性MpBC通过帕博利珠单抗联合化疗实现完全病理缓解的一个实例,并证明了对MpBC化疗免疫疗法进行进一步研究的必要性。
