To evaluate the clinico pathological features of Metaplastic carcinomas.  Data of 11 patients with metaplastic breast carcinoma were retrospectively reviewed in a 3 years period. The patient’s ages ranged from 28 years to 70 years (median 49years). The tumours were 4 to 10cm (median 7cm) in size. Patients underwent modified radical mastectomy and one patient underwent lumpectomy. One patient had axillary lymph node metastasis. TNM staging, tumour size and axillary nodal status were significant prognostic factors of survival
