We discovered that pleomorphic type was associated with higher grades, estrogen receptor negativity, and Ki-67 expression. The incidence of metachronous breast cancer was high in the pleomorphic group, which may be a noteworthy finding to be considered in follow-ups. In addition, the high rates of multicentricity and multifocality of tumors in the pleomorphic group may be associated with increased surgical margin positivity and a higher likelihood of mastectomy. In a nutshell, our findings may guide patients and surgeons regarding the type of intervention and reconstruction options to be adopted in prospective surgeries.
