Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma constitutes less than 5 % of all sarcomas in adults and has been rarely seen in the breast and is dened as a group of pleomorphic, high-grade sarcomas in which any attempt to disclose their line of differentiation has failed . Most undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas(UPS) have occurred in their sixth and seventh decades of life and very rarely in adolescents and adults. We report a case of 24 year old female presented with painless lump in right breast and rapidly increasing in size for last 5 months. Iinitial diagnosis was made as sarcoma breast on the basis of physical and radiological examination. After that total mastectomy was done without axillary lymph node dissection, as lymphatic spread is very rare. But without histopathological examination and most importantly IHC-panel, it is impossible to make a denitive diagnosis of UPS breast.

Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) is the most common sarcoma that appears in older patients, usually in the extremities and the retroperitoneum. Other locations are rare. By definition, in UPS, although the malignant cells tend to appear fibroblastic or myofibroblastic, they should not show differentiation towards a more specific line of differentiation. In this sense, we report the case of an 80-year-old patient with an initial clinical diagnosis of a locally advanced colonic neoplasm that was later confirmed as a primary mesenteric UPS. Primary mesenteric UPS are extremely rare with less than 20 cases reported. We also review the pathologic and radiologic diagnostic criteria and the natural history of these tumours.
