A case of breast cancer containing osteoclast‐like multinucleated giant cells was examined cytologically, light and electron microscopically to find morphological evidences suggesting the origin of the giant cells. There were multiple evidences showing the same carcinomatous origin of each cell including osteoclast‐like multinucleated giant cells. ACTA PATHOL. JPN. 34: 1475–1484. 1984.
