Cutaneous metastasis from breast cancer can occur by direct invasion, lymphatic and vascular spread as well as iatrogenic implantation. Metastasis that occurs by iatrogenic implantation after needle biopsy is very rare but the potential risk must be considered. In this report, we describe a case of breast cancer cutaneous metastasis that occurred by iatrogenic implantation following core needle biopsy. A 53-year-old woman presented with a 1x1 cm sized erythematous nodule at the biopsy site after breast conserving surgery for primary cancer. Histopathological findings confirmed cutaneous metastasis. The possibility of this consequence must be considered when performing needle biopsies.
乳腺癌的皮肤转移可通过直接侵犯、淋巴和血管扩散以及医源性植入发生。针吸活检后因医源性植入而发生的转移非常罕见,但必须考虑其潜在风险。在本报告中,我们描述了一例在粗针活检后因医源性植入而发生的乳腺癌皮肤转移病例。一名53岁女性在原发性癌症保乳手术后,活检部位出现一个1x1厘米大小的红斑结节。组织病理学检查结果证实为皮肤转移。在进行针吸活检时,必须考虑到这种后果的可能性。
